ഡെന്ഗിപ്പനീയും മലേറിയയും തിരിച്ചറിയുക
With the death toll only increasing due to dengue and malaria, are we doing enough to prevent these illnesses from spreading further? And is the local government doing enough to keep them from spiraling out of control?
Dengue and malaria are both caused by an infected mosquito's bite, which if not acted upon swiftly can be fatal.
The parasite travels through the blood to the host's liver where it will multiply and go back to the bloodstream in numbers to attack your red blood cells. Once they are inside the red blood cells they multiply further until the red blood cells burst and as a result release more parasites into the blood plasma which will cause the initial high temperature symptom and this all happens in a matter of hours.

Keep your surrounding clean to avoid mosquitoes.
We think that water-borne diseases like dengue and malaria only get a hold of those who live in unhygienic conditions/areas. It's true that these areas act as breeding grounds for the infected mosquitoes, but it doesn't take long for it to spread to the entire locality or the city.
Dengue Symptoms:
