Prevention & Awareness campaign against Dengue.

Now dengue is the most dangerous disease in our community. So the advices of our NSO scout organisation, we are doing the services in our community to prevent dengue fever. Symptoms, which usually begin four to six days after infection and last for up to 10 days, may include Sudden, high fever Severe headaches Pain behind the eyes Severe joint and muscle pain Fatigue Nausea Vomiting Skin rash, which appears two to five days after the onset of fever Mild bleeding
here currently is no vaccine to prevent the general population from contracting it. To protect yourself: Use mosquito repellents, even indoors. When outdoors, wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants tucked into socks. When indoors, use air conditioning if available. Make sure window and door screens are secure and free of holes. If sleeping areas are not screened or air conditioned, use mosquito nets. If you have symptoms of dengue, speak to your doctor.
To reduce the mosquito population, get rid of places where mosquitoes can breed. These include old tires, cans, or flower pots that collect rain. Regularly change the water in outdoor bird baths and pets' water dishes. The has been completed in Gazipur, Dhaka
We are doing this project for making our community to make our environment fresh to live with peace. Our scout's main moto is to crate a better world
