It’s important for people to understand the primary infections associated with the rainy season before talking about preventive strategies. These consist of:
The continued presence of waterborne illnesses including cholera, dysentery, and typhoid is primarily due to the unclean water supply.
Infections of the respiratory system: Humidity and cold can also encourage the spread of viruses that cause illnesses including pneumonia, the flu, and the common cold.
Vector-borne diseases: Chikungunya, dengue, and malaria are among the many diseases spread by mosquitoes and other insects.
Skin infections: This could be because of the warm, humid weather, which is conducive to bacterial and fungal diseases on the skin, including scabies and ringworm.
Food hygiene: Steer clear of raw veggies and items bought off the street when eating, especially during the rainy season. Make sure you handle food in appropriate ways.
