Monsoon precautions focus on keeping your home dry, drinking safe water, and stopping mosquitoes. Follow these steps to stay healthy. [1]
Stop Mosquitoes [2]
- Check your yard for old tires or pots.
- Empty all bowls of standing water. Mosquitoes breed here.
- Put nets on windows to keep bugs out.
- Use mosquito repellent creams when going outside. [3, 4, 5]
Drink Safe Water [6]
- Drink only boiled or filtered water.
- Carry a personal water bottle from home when traveling.
- Wash all fruits and raw veggies with clean water before eating. [6, 7, 8]
Stay Clean and Dry
- Wash your hands with soap before eating.
- Change out of wet clothes right away.
- Dry your feet when you come inside to stop fungal growth.
- Avoid eating raw street food, as it spoils easily in the rain. [5, 8, 9, 10]
