While the rainy season brings cool, lush greenery, it also creates damp puddles and piles of dry leaves where Aedes mosquitoes breed in large numbers—posing a great danger to young children. To keep our little ones safe from Dengue Fever, let us parents pay close attention to the following together:
1. Protect Against Mosquitoes with “Cover, Empty, Change, Inspect”
- Cover: Tightly cover all water storage barrels and pots.
- Empty: Pour out stagnant water from old cups, discarded tires, and containers around the house.
- Change: Change the water in flower vases and drinking water pots twice a week.
- Inspect: Check for mosquito larvae and apply Abate larvicide where necessary.
2. Prevent Mosquito Bites
- Aedes mosquitoes are most active during the day. Therefore, ensure children sleep under a mosquito net even during daytime naps.
- Dress your children in protective, long-sleeved shirts and long pants when they go outside.
Health begins with preparation.
While it is always best to prevent illnesses before they happen, being prepared for the unexpected is equally important. Ensure the best possible care for your child and family by securing a health insurance plan from GGI Nippon Life, keeping your loved ones safe and worry-free. 💙
