🦟 END DENGUE: STARTS WITH ME! 💚

Dengue prevention starts with each one of us. Let’s work together to keep our homes, communities, and loved ones safe from dengue! 🏡🫶

Here are 4 simple ways we can help prevent dengue:

🔎 SURIN AT SIRAIN – Alisin ang mga lugar na maaaring pamugaran ng lamok.
🛡️ SARILIN AY PROTEKTAHAN – Gumamit ng mosquito repellent, magsuot ng mahahabang damit, at panatilihing protektado ang sarili.
🩺 SUMANGGUNI AGAD – Kapag nilalagnat nang dalawang araw o higit pa, agad na kumonsulta sa health facility.
🤝 SUMUPORTA SA PAGPAPAUSOK – Makilahok at makiisa sa mga hakbang ng inyong komunidad upang mapanatili ang kaligtasan ng lahat.

KALINISAN • PAG-IINGAT • AGARANG AKSYON • BAYANING WALANG LAMOK

💚 Sama-sama tayong kumilos. Wakas sa dengue, magsimula sa atin—ngayon!

🦟 4 O’Clock Search and Destroy

Every day at 4:00 PM, conduct “Search and Destroy” for mosquito breeding sites. This is a good time to check our surroundings and prevent mosquitoes from laying eggs.

Remember: “Taob, Tak-tak, Toyo, Takip!”

Taob – Turn over containers that can collect water.

Tak-tak – Throw away unnecessary containers and trash.

Toyo – Keep water containers clean and scrubbed.

Takip – Cover all water storage containers properly.

Small action every day can prevent dengue in our community! 🦟🚫

Dengue can increase during El Niño or hot weather because:

🌡️ Heat speeds up mosquito breeding and virus development.

💧 Water shortages lead to water storage, creating breeding sites.

🦟 Aedes mosquitoes can breed in small amounts of stagnant water, even during drought.

🌧️ Occasional rains can leave water in containers, providing additional breeding sites.

El Niño doesn’t directly cause dengue, but the conditions it creates can favor mosquito breeding and transmission.
