“Dengue fever has no vaccine or specific treatment, and the only way to stop it is to get rid of mosquitoes,” the association said. “This will also help stop other diseases spread by mosquitoes, like malaria, chikungunya infection, and Zika fever, which are all common in flood-affected areas.” PMA’s guidelines on treating dengue fever say that the symptoms start three to four days after the infection. These symptoms can include high fever, headache, vomiting, and pain in the muscles, joints, eyes, and bones.” It can also lead to rashes on the skin. In the worst case, the gums, nose, mouth, and other body parts could bleed.
“Use sprays, nets, mosquito mats, repellent solutions, etc. to keep from getting bitten by mosquitoes. Cover the water tanks and clean up any water sitting still in or around the house. The PMA said that school administrators should let students wear pants and full-length shirts and spray the school grounds for mosquitoes.
