For some people infected with dengue there are no symptoms, or they may just experience a self-resolving flu like illness. Others may experience what is often known as break – bone fever due to the high fever and the extreme pain it causes in muscles and joints. It can also cause a severe headache, pain behind the eyes, nausea and vomiting, swollen glands and a skin rash on the chest and trunk.
How To Reduce The Risk ?
- Cover up your skin by wearing long loose, lightly coloured clothing. (It makes it more difficult for mosquitoes to bite your skin).
- Treat your clothing with permethrin
- Use an insect repellent such as 50% DEET on your skin.
- Sleep under an impregnated mosquito net, use a plug in or knockdown room spray.
- Have the Qdenga vaccine.
