Dengue Mosquitoes are Considered as One of the Most Dangerous Insects in the Philippines

Its rainy season again in the Philippines and people are now worried about the possible diseases that may incur during this period. This is the breeding time of mosquitoes and for a short period of time their number grows rapidly. However, the main concern of the Filipino people is the brisk growth of dengue mosquito’s carriers.

Dengue mosquitoes are considered as one of the most dangerous insects in the Philippines, since for several years ago thousands of Filipino people died unguarded with this disease and worst of all, majorities of the counts are children. Until now there is no medication discovered for this illness the only thing that they can do to fight against this disease is to prevent it.

To prevent from being victimized by this dengue mosquito is to clean our surroundings, ensure that there are no things or areas that can be use as a breeding place by these killer mosquitoes. Always take vitamin C to strengthen your body resistance, take a healthy diet, exercise and as much as possible avoid going to humid areas. There are mosquito’s repellent that can be use to avoid mosquitoes from biting your skin, drink plenty of water every day to keep yourself hydrated. If you have fever that last for about 2 to 3 days and temperature of nearly 38 to 40 degrees on and off I suggest that you should seek Doctor’s attention.

My child was also a victim, and he battled for this disease for more than two weeks in the hospital. I was really upset during that time since I have seen a lot of young and adult people inside the hospital struggling for their lives. There are no rooms available since patients with dengue disease are so many and hospitals can no longer accommodate all these patients, what they did is to provide additional beds along the alley just to accommodate these excess patients.

My son situation was very critical during that time since he was suffering already a stage two to three dengue, he was undergone blood transfusion for several times, and the worst thing was he cried for many times since every day blood samples are taken from him for laboratory testing and he was traumatize with it since needle hurts him very often. With prayers and God’s help he was able to survive this disease.

One of the Philippine agencies Department of Health (DOH) is now making moves to help people from defending their selves and how to fight against dengue; advisories were now disseminated to public. We should be conscious of this and we should cooperate proactively and religiously, this is for the good of our children. Hoping that those disastrous years will not be experience again for this year and to the near future. Aside from that, I wish that they can discover a cure for this disease so that people have no much worry about this.
