Greetings pupil.
I am not sane, I believe most of you who are aware of the current situation of dengue patient is not, either. I have been contemplating to write about this or not. It is not about the growing environment but the generation that I am thinking about in the line of population rate.
To those who are residing in Dhaka or in any part of Bangladesh or regions were Dengue is the leading cause of deaths, please be aware. Is it still not the time for us to be cautious? Do we always need to be in the last stage to be aware of the reality of health?
Even in this growing generation, health is still not prioritized to the level it is needed. When will the alarms ring and when will people realize? Even in this growing generation of knowledgeable youth, we still see many phases of commotion created by the older generation. Even in 2023, it is not yet rectified and re-established.
With a heavy heart I am writing all these in hope of others to be aware and spread the word. If your health is in danger, you are not only putting yourself but many others in danger too. Right now many people are getting affected by dengue, and many still claims that they are taking the right measure for it not to spread and occur but that is not absolutely true.
When you visit the hospital, you come to realize that not everyone of us are itself aware of the many causes and reasons of dengue. How do we expect to recover from Dengue when all around us we have contaminated water and people are crowded in every single place without any mosquito repellant spray or cream on themselves.
In a crowded city like Dhaka, the citizens are supposed to be more cautious and serious about their lifestyle habits. Cleanliness and having strong immunity is the least the citizens of Bangladesh should be doing to let Dengue leave this place. Nowhere it is said that just after having dengue you can have Daab water. Neither it is said to have more of iron only after being affected. It is about keeping yourself healthy so that your body has the power to combat any and every illness possible.
I thought that Covid-19 taught us many things but I can see how wrong I was about my estimation. People are not so easy to change and develop to the change. This post is a simple reminder to those of you who are still healthy, please stay healthy and do not get sick. Becoming sick makes you vulnerable. This is something that not everyone will volunteer to do. Therefore, stay healthy and make your immune system healthy.
We have already lost a lot of lives. So, you wouldn't want to be in that list. The condition of hospitals are another tragic story. Thus, keep this in your mind that your health is your treasure. Maintain it and let others be aware of it too.
Some precautionary steps:
Store clean water.
Store not longer than 24 hour.
Store keeping the lid of the tub closed.
Keep your washroom clean.
Keep your surrounding clean.
