Keep your kids protected from monsoon-related illnesses with these essential tips
With the monsoon season peaking in Mumbai, the incidence of illnesses and infections are rising. Every second person is down with flu or is sneezing boisterously. Several factors contribute to this rise in health risks. The most significant factor is the increase in humidity and moisture during the monsoon, which creates an ideal environment for the growth of bacteria, viruses, and fungi.
Stagnant water becomes a breeding ground for disease-carrying mosquitoes, leading to a surge in vector-borne diseases like dengue, malaria, and chikungunya. Additionally, the contamination of water sources due to heavy rains and poor sanitation can result in waterborne diseases such as cholera, typhoid, and gastroenteritis.
