Thousands of mosquitoes breed in filth, some of them are very poisonous. Chikungunya is caused by the bite of mosquitoes named Aedes Albopictus and Aedes Aegypti. This virus mainly occurs in animals and birds and spreads from there to the surrounding environment.

  4. The effect of this disease lasts for at least ten to twelve days and after observing its cases, it has come to light that it hurts more in the first six days. And in the next four-five days the fever reduces and it ends.
  5. In this disease the fever is so high that the digestion process in the body also becomes weak. During this period, there is difficulty in eating and drinking anything and the body becomes very weak.

Chikungunya Precautions

Get the medicine sprayed in the surrounding drains and also pay special attention to cleanliness in the house. Wear clean and seasonal clothes and wash hands with sanitizer or soap before eating.

Taking care of food items 

We should take care of our food and drink, bring changes in our food with the change of season. Whatever food item we are purchasing, it should be purchased from a good place and of good quality. Eat outside food as little as possible, and take special care during rainy days. Do not consume excessive frying and excessive chilli and spices.
