Be alert for Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) during the rainy season

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is a disease caused by infection with the dengue virus. DHF is an acute disease with clinical manifestations of bleeding that causes shock which leads to death. Dengue fever is caused by one of four serotypes of viruses from the genus Flavivirus, family Flaviviridae.

DHF (Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever) is transmitted through humans, viruses and vectors (mosquitoes) called the Aedes Aegypti mosquito by biting humans and spreading the virus they carry. The risky times for exposure to Aedes Aegypti mosquito bites are 06:00-09:00 WIB in the morning, in the afternoon at 15:00-17:00, outside these hours dengue mosquitoes land in clear, calm puddles of water to nest. . 

So friends, Hermina Pasuruan, it is important to maintain a clean environment, such as:
- Throw away rubbish that has piled up so it doesn't become a nest for mosquitoes
- Close the water reservoir tightly
- Always clean and shower at least twice a week
- Don't create puddles of water where dengue mosquitoes can lay their eggs.

In the rainy season like this, the population of the Aedes Agypti mosquito is very potential to increase in the rainy season, because there are more and more habitats. How to prevent transmission:
 1. Cover the ventilation with mesh or use air conditioning
 2. Wear long-sleeved clothing to protect your body from mosquito bites
 3. Provide additional protection with anti-mosquito lotion
 4. Cover and clean flooded areas to eradicate mosquito habitats
 5. Prevent the bad risk of dengue fever with vaccination
