Mangaluru, Jun 26: The health department has continued to operate its health camp at Arekere Bail and Gorakshadandu areas to keep tab on the health condition of the dengue-affected people and to take other steps as may be needed. Over a hundred activities of the department have already been creating awareness about the disease.

The camp has been in operation since Monday. In-charge district survey officer, Dr Navinchandra, said that the camps will continue till Wednesday. He said that six persons were subjected to checks on Tuesday and that even though they were suffering from fever that looked like dengue, they were not suffering from Dengue.

The deputy commissioner of the district has asked survey officer Dr Praveen Kumar C H, to be relieved from duty as he has not been properly working to stop spread of infectious disease.

District health officer, Dr Ramakrishna Rao, stated that out of over 40 persons subjected to tests, six people were found to be suffering from dengue.

    Stagnant water is the breeding place of mosquitoes. So it is the duty of citizens and also the municipality to avoid water getting accumulated. Such places should be disinfected so that mosquitoes have no chance whatsoever to breed. PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE. Dengue is a deadly decease and cannot be treated at home. People, both young and old showing signs of Dengue fever should immediately go to a doctor or health clinic.

    I want to share a scary situation with readers, as regards to mosquitoes.

    I usually boil water for drinking purpose and on one night I kept the hot water pot a little open so that the steam escapes and helps cooling. In the morning I transferred the water to tumblers. To my horror, by evening, tiny larvae could be seen moving in the tumblers that were closed with a lid. So, the mosquito entered after the water cooled, and did its bit of service. It takes 24 hours for mosquito eggs to hatch.

    I am sharing this with you all to be extra careful, especially when the region is dreading of an epidemic.

    The news is about mosquitoes, which don't breed in garbage but in still waters. Clearing garbage is a different matter altogether but stopping mosquito breeding is in our hands, not that of the government.
