The rainy
season brings with it a lot of benefits: water for the garden, a respite from
the excruciating heat and an excuse to stay a little longer cuddled in bed or
have another cup of coffee or hot cocoa.
But it
also comes with plenty of health concerns such as cholera, typhoid fever,
leptospirosis and water-borne diseases from bacteria and viruses found in
unclean drinking and flood water. Vector-borne diseases such as dengue and
malaria have been known to cause serious complications and even death.
Good thing there are simply yet effective preventive measures one can take to keep the entire family safe during the wet season.
