Although many people use air conditioners these days, it is worth keeping in mind that using AC can also increase the risk of dengue.
How does dengue occur?
Dengue is a viral disease caused by the bite of Aedes mosquitoes. Aedes aegypti breeds in clean stagnant water. Clean water comes out of AC in the form of drain, which keeps accumulating. If it is not cleaned for a long time, Aedes mosquitoes breed in the stagnant water, which carries the virus. When it bites a person, he gets infected.
How to avoid dengue ?
Usually this problem is there in the water of coolers, but nowadays ACs are being used more, so this problem persists due to water accumulation. The following measures can be taken to avoid it.
-Let the water of AC drain continuously.
-If water is collecting in a bucket, then you can use kerosene or mosquito repellent in it.
-Keep emptying the water regularly so that mosquitoes do not breed.
-Do not let the water coming out of the AC accumulate.
-Take special care of cleanliness
