Many people live in risk of catching dengue, a flu-like illness that can result in hospitalization and even death.
You and your family could be at risk of catching dengue when infected mosquitos are present.
You can reduce the risk of dengue in your home and community by following these tips:
Dengue-carrying mosquitoes breed in stagnant water so remove or throw away any standing water.

Guard against bites by using a mosquito coil in the house or in open areas like a veranda.
* Always read label instructions for proper product usage
Reduce your risk of bites by covering your skin or masking exposed skin with a mosquito repellent.
Any mosquito you see could be carrying dengue. Use a mosquito spray to protect yourself.
