The news of Dengue outbreaks has scared the hell out of me!! Since I heard about the dengue outbreaks and children dying out of it on the news, the thought of my own little one possibly being infected has not left my mind. I know! The news would alarm you, but the though of your own little one or any member of your family being infected would panic you.
The rainy days partnered with that mutation of those dengue-carrying mosquitoes caused the number to rise to epidemic level on some places, i believe. Cebu may not be (Thank God!) an epidemic place but lets not be complacent. I, personally, cannot afford to be complacent.
here are some personal practices that I can recommend :
General Cleaning – Tour your house surroundings and be on look out (read as: Clean) for those stagnant waters and places where water and rainwater may possibly stack.
Citronella Bug Spray – found one that I want think as effective and as well as easy on the budget. Citronella Bug Spray DEET free! – from Human ♥ Nature

Shoo off mosquitoes and other pesky bugs with an effective, organic antidote. With natural skin moisturizers your skin will thank you for it!
My 2 cents: This is a product I would recommend. Aside from the repellent effect of the Citronella, I personally believe on the organic and all-natural claim of this product. it is safe to use for sensitive skin. Plus it smells good!! *wink *wink |
Light-colored clothes – Choosing light colored clothing shoo away the mosquitoes too while dark shades attracts them. Whites and Yellows are best clothing when your child is outside and playing.
PJs - Protect the skin as much as possible too thru the use of PJs. If your kids are schooling already, knee-high socks is a good alternative.
Prevention is the best cure –ika nga… So mudhers and everyone, lets not stop to look for ways that we can secure our loved ones from that deadly Dengue.
