and empty containers like flower pots, discarded tires, and other items that can hold stagnant water.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Use Mosquito Repellents:<\/strong>Apply repellents containing DEET, picaridin, or oil of lemon eucalyptus on exposed skin and clothing.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Wear Protective Clothing:<\/strong>Wear long sleeves and pants, especially during peak mosquito activity hours (sunrise and sunset).\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Use Mosquito Nets:<\/strong>Sleep under a mosquito net, especially in areas with high mosquito populations.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Screen Doors and Windows:<\/strong>Use screens on doors and windows to prevent mosquitoes from entering your home.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Treatment (if infected):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Rest and Hydration:<\/strong>Get plenty of rest and drink lots of fluids, including water, oral rehydration solutions, or juices.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Acetaminophen for Pain:<\/strong>Use acetaminophen (paracetamol) for fever and pain relief.\u00a0Avoid ibuprofen, aspirin, or other NSAIDs, as they can increase the risk of bleeding.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Seek Medical Advice:<\/strong>Consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and management of symptoms.\u00a0Severe dengue can be life-threatening, so seek immediate medical care if symptoms worsen.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex
