Dengue Season Coming - Precautions
#1: Turn over empty pails and buckets, so that they do not collect excess water. If the container that contains water cannot be emptied, remember to cover it well when not in use.
#2: Remember to clean out empty flower pots and not to over water potted plants. It is advised to not have any stagnant water around as it acts as breeding ground for the mosquitoes.
#3: Apply mosquito repellents on all exposed areas, during the day as well as at night on a regular basis to prevent dengue. Here are some innovative ways to keep your home mosquito free.
#4: Make sure your window and door screens do not have any holes. If so, block those areas properly to eliminate mosquitoes.
#5: If someone at home is ill with dengue, try to not let the mosquitoes bite them or others in the house.
#6: Always sleep under a mosquito net (especially small children as they sleep during the day and hence, the chance of mosquito bite is high during this time).
#7: If you use a cooler remember to empty out and clean the water tray regularly, even when not in use.
#8: Always cover your trash can or dustbin when not in use.
#9: A natural method to keep mosquitoes at bay is to plant tulsi near your window. The plant has properties that do not allow mosquitoes to breed.
#10: Using camphor as a repellent also works wonders. Light camphor in a room and close all the doors and windows. Leave it this way for about fifteen to twenty minutes to have a mosquito free environment.
Caused due to the bite of an infected female aedes aegypti mosquito, the disease can be fatal. Once bitten it takes about four to ten days for the symptoms to show. The most common symptoms are –
High fever,
Severe headache,
Pain behind the eyes
Nausea and vomiting
Swollen glands
Muscle and joint pain
Skin rash (in some cases)
The more severe forms of dengue are hemorrhagic fever and dengue shock syndrome. There is no clear treatment for the condition nor is there a vaccine against it, so the best way is to prevent the disease from occurring at all. As dengue is a completely preventable condition, all you have to do is take a few steps to keep yourself and your family safe. more

Mr. V. K. Aggarwal, I do agree with you. But I feel problem is different. First - we always believe - this is the job of our very efficient MCD. Second - people you refer, it is very difficult to make them understand. Third - people have very high ego, they will not tolerate if you try to make them do some thing good for all of us. I believe this explains all the problems of Delhi. Pollution, road rage, traffic jam, very dirty, very high rate of road fatalities. more
