Monsoon also gives you bad experiences. Statistics reveal that we are twice as likely to catch infection during monsoon than any other season. This is the contribution of high moisture content which allows bacteria and viruses to thrive more.
So the best possible way to enjoy delightful rains is by gearing up our immunity and protecting ourselves and our families against monsoon-inflicted infections.
Listed below are the few tips we all can follow to avoid getting sick this monsoon season.
Breeding season:
Mosquitoes thrive more during this season which can pose serious illnesses like malaria, dengue, Chikungunya virus, and many more. The reason is high humidity which is best for breeding. Microorganisms like bacteria and viruses also flourish during this season leading to severe forms of pneumonia, fever, cough, and cold.
Don’t allow pits to fill:
Open sewage, water pits on roads, and unprocessed garbage disposal are one of the biggest problems that lead to unchecked breeding areas for insects and microbes. This leads to an increase in infection rates that negatively affect health.
Avoid outside food:
It gives immense joy to eat hot steamy street foods- but the cravings should wait, especially for this season. The food which is prepared might be contaminated with more than one microbe because it is often exposed to rainwater and can cause food poisoning.
Avoid roaming in the rains:
This is the most common advice we get during the monsoon season because the weather is generally cold with no sunshine peeping through the clouds. Ao if you are planning to take a rain bath please consider children below the age of 6 and the old age group are more prone to infection as their immune system is weak. It is better to enjoy the rain from a window or a balcony keeping a great book in your hand!
Skin problems and hair fall:
Excessive humidity and perspiration irritate the skin causing rapid fungal growth which results in skin allergies resulting in skin breakage, scalp issues, and hair loss problems. It is advisable to take proper care of your health by having a protein-rich diet and eating more greens. Take hot baths daily and apply oil to your hair whenever necessary.
