New delhi date. 23 September 2020, Wednesday

Mosquito terror also increases as the climate changes. According to one statistic, thousands of people die of dengue every year. Which occurs due to untimely treatment and lack of awareness. That is why it is necessary to make people more aware about it. Aedes aegypti mosquito bites spread dengue. These mosquitoes thrive in stagnant clean water, which is why the number of mosquitoes increases due to flooding during the monsoon.

Dengue is characterized by a high fever followed by a red rash on the body, as well as headaches, back pain, joint and muscle aches, loss of appetite and vomiting. But dengue can only be confirmed after a blood test. There are so many things about dengue that you probably know, learn about some of the things about dengue ...

Dengue attacks white blood cells

If a dengue mosquito bites you, it can be fatal for you. Dengue mosquitoes directly attack your white blood cells. This causes your body's immune system to weaken. A dengue mosquito lays about 100 eggs at a time and survives for about two weeks.

Mosquitoes can bite even at night

It is believed that dengue mosquitoes bite only during the day but the fact is that it can also bite in the light of night. Dengue mosquitoes bite more in the morning and evening at sunset. These mosquitoes cannot breed at temperatures below 15-16 degrees. The highest number of dengue cases is seen between July and October.

Are Dengue Mosquitoes Growing in Your Home?

According to a report by the Delhi Ministry of Health, 41 per cent of dengue mosquitoes in Delhi are produced in plastic drums and tanks. At the same time, 12 per cent of dengue mosquitoes are produced in coolers and 17 per cent in iron containers where construction work is underway.

Decreased platelets are not the cause of death

It is generally believed that a decrease in platelets during dengue results in the death of the patient. But perhaps people know that the real cause of death in dengue is capillary leakage. If a patient has capillary leakage, he should be given fluids in this situation. These fluids should be consumed until the distance between high and low blood pressure exceeds 40.

Dengue is not a contagious disease

Dengue is generally considered a contagious disease. But in fact dengue is not a contagious disease because the disease does not spread from one person to another. There are four types of dengue. The patient has the same type of dengue at one time and another type of dengue at another time. There is a common belief among people about dengue that platelet count is very important during this time and only focus on increasing it. Patients with a platelet count of less than 10,000 are more likely to develop dengue.
