Dengue awareness: Know the symptoms and prevention tips

Understanding dengue symptoms and following preventive measures is crucial to stay safe from this mosquito-borne disease. Dengue fever, transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes, requires vigilance in symptoms and prevention, as cases continue to rise. Dr. Manish Kumar Consultant, Medical Indoor Services, Tata Main Hospital, Jamshedpur Dengue fever, also known as break-bone fever, is a viral infection…

Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne illness spread by the dengue virus that presents as a severe flu-like illness. The Aedes mosquito is both the primary vector of the disease and the primary cause of fever.

My health journey:

It's been 2 years I'm still suffering from a disease called Anaemia (critically low iron in blood or like almost no blood) but mildly and yesterday my mom's cholesterol is high and it's been 9 or 8 years my dad has diabetes and it's been like many years my mom is suffering from Thyroid. In 2018, both my and I were caught with Dengue but eventually survived. My grandmother died due to slow death of dialysis because of kidney failure (she's been released from pain because her brain malfunctioned) last year. I am rarely eating sweets because there is 99% chance that I might get diabetes due to heredity as my grandparents suffered from diabetes, my father and my uncle are suffering so my father tries his best to not let me have the same fate as him.

It might sound like a guilt-trip but no, I'm not guilt-tripping. I shared this to make people confident and successful in every way forgetting their troubles. Hope you understand, bye and have a great day.

Warning⚠️: Sugar or diabetes is a silent killer, that killed my grandma. So this is just an awareness.

#Dengue #alert (End)

Due to the decrease in the number of #blood platelets in #Dengue, the process of blood clotting is greatly damaged. In this case, eating foods that are high in #vitamin-K, such as spinach, broccoli, meat, especially pigeon meat, liver, beans, cheese, etc., increases the chances of getting well quickly.

#Dengue disease patient's mouth taste of food is reduced. So the patient can start with different types of soups, thin khichuri, soft food etc. so that he can eat food easily and to facilitate digestion. Foods rich in oil and spices should be avoided so as not to cause stomach gas or indigestion.

#In case of diabetic and kidney disease patients, extra precautions must be followed. Depending on the disease, the patient's diet must be different. Depending on the patient's daily blood test results, physical condition, likes and dislikes, food should be prepared so that the patient can eat according to his taste and recover quickly.

Finish.

There could be a lot more here about non-pharmaceutical interventions like masking, but some pretty good analysis of the climate of vaccine "skepticism" and disease minimizing we live in.

By David Quammen

Health officials would like to remind you that we are entering that time of the year still quaintly known as flu season. That means autumn to spring. Kids go to school, adults spend more time gathered indoors, people breathe and speak and sneeze and cough at one another, and the latest influenza virus spreads widely.

The reason flu season seems a quaint idea is that we now hear about and maybe worry about so many viruses all year. And well we should.

What if there’s a simultaneous surge of Covid and seasonal flu this autumn? What if infections of respiratory syncytial virus, known as R.S.V., peak at unusual levels, as they did in the 2022-23 season? What if the new strain of mpox, which is especially virulent, continues spreading in Africa and beyond? What if this year’s flu combines with the dreaded H5N1 bird flu and emerges as a nightmare flu? What if a novel virus destined to be called SARS-CoV-3 emerges from a horseshoe bat in a rural village somewhere, gains a few key mutations and comes barreling through the world’s airports?

Oy vey and déjà vu. It’s always virus season now. Maybe none of those worst-case scenarios will happen, but to assume so is to count on fool’s luck.

The notion of flu season is a relic of times when one virus could transfix our response efforts and dominate our collective consciousness. Influenza in 1918. H.I.V. in 1980s and ’90s. Ebola in 2014. We can no longer afford to react on a case-by-case basis. Today we need a broader vision. We need personal, governmental and technological responses that address the full spectrum of viruses that disrupt our lives.

Because they will continue to disrupt our lives. We live amid viruses. We eat them. We breathe them. We touch them on doorknobs and cafeteria trays. All the wild and domestic animals with which we interact, from mosquitoes to mice to the sparrows on the bird feeder and the monkeys in the temple gardens, carry their own freights of them in wondrous variety. Most of these viruses have no chance of infecting a human, but many do. The best way to protect yourself and your family is just what health agencies recommend: Get the vaccines if reputable ones exist.

The best way to help protect your community, your country and the rest of humanity is a more complex proposition. The answers range from public health measures such as better virus surveillance to ending our bone-headed science denialism and finally supporting pandemic preparedness. But it’s not my purpose to unpack those big topics in this small spurt of words.

My purpose is more modest: to refresh your awareness of something you can’t see, not without the help of an electron microscope. Even the human genome contains a sizable portion — roughly 8 percent of it — that was once the genomes of ancient retroviruses, acquired and internalized by our ancestors in the course of infections.

Viruses of concern to humans come and go on various schedules. American dairy cows began their flu season this year around March 25, when the first infections with bird flu were reported in herds in Kansas and Texas. Measles outbreaks tend to be seasonal but more complex. In the tropics they may peak in the dry season, while in temperate climates measles correlates more with school schedules. And now that warmer temperatures are welcoming tropical mosquitoes farther north and south — including ones that transmit viral diseases like yellow fever and dengue — people in Florida and Italy may find that their worst virus season is summer. Climate change is the new force applied to the viral calendar.

Each year another seasonal vaccine is offered because influenza viruses evolve and mix continuously; their genomes entangle like shape-shifting snakes. The most concerning threat is different each year. This year’s flu vaccine in the United States is what’s called trivalent, or three-powered, meaning it contains elements from three different influenza viruses, all of which are circulating and any of which may prove most pervasive and problematic. Manufacturing flu vaccines takes months, so calculated decisions, mixing science and foresight, must be made long before autumn. Increasing efforts to produce even more kinds of vaccines, including some that target multiple virus strains, signal scientific awareness of the point I’m trying to make: We know a virus might get us, tomorrow or next season, but we can’t say which.

Hence the need for a universal flu vaccine, such as one that’s now in clinical trials at the National Institutes of Health. Hence the need for a universal coronavirus vaccine, toward which scientists at the California Institute of Technology, among other places, are working. Hence the need to create combination vaccines that protect against Covid-19 and influenza in one shot, which are also under development in the United States, China and elsewhere. Hence the need to improve ventilation systems for public and private buildings, which can significantly reduce the spread of respiratory viruses.

These are urgent challenges, at which laboratories and public health authorities all over the world are laboring busily. Science takes time; applying its findings takes patience. Persuading the public to adopt behavioral changes — some of which involve a prick in the arm, some of which require placing community welfare on a level with individual independence — is a task that may seem almost Sisyphean, but it remains crucial and doable.

Flu season in America is no illusory concept, and I don’t mean to deride it, merely to expand it. Get the jab if you’re not disqualified by special health conditions. Don’t disqualify yourself by indifference or groundless suspicions. But bear in mind that virus season doesn’t end with the first swallows of spring. We’re in it for the duration.

Anthony Fauci: A Mosquito in My Backyard Made Me the Sickest I’ve Ever Been. (New York Times)

Excerpt from this New York Times Op-Ed by Anthony Fauci:

There is no treatment for West Nile virus disease, and I was left to deal with its toll on my body. It was terrifying. I could not swing my legs over the side of the bed to sit up without help from my wife and three daughters. I could not stand up without assistance and certainly could not walk. A very scary part of the ordeal was the effect on my cognition. I was disoriented, unable to remember certain words, asking questions of my family that I should have known the answers to. I was afraid that I would never recover and return to normal.

Fortunately, over a period of a few weeks slow improvement began. I was able to walk with a walker and then without any assistance. Now I can walk a few miles per day with only minimal fatigue, and my cognitive issues have completely resolved. I am on my way to a total recovery, but it has been a harrowing experience.

I tell my story because West Nile virus is a disease that, for many people, can have devastating and permanent consequences. At my age of 83, I was at risk of permanent neurological impairment and even death. Yet the public may be unaware of the danger of this disease and that it continues to spread across the United States; it has been identified in 46 states this year. Unfortunately, very little is being done about it from scientific and public awareness perspectives.

West Nile virus belongs to the family of flaviviruses that also includes yellow fever and dengue viruses. It was first detected in the United States in the New York City area in 1999, most likely introduced from the Middle East or parts of Africa where it is prevalent. Mosquitoes get the virus from infected birds, and then pass the virus on to humans by a bite. West Nile virus infection is by far the most common mosquito-borne disease in the United States: Since 1999, about 60,000 cases have been reported. The actual number of infections is surely higher, no doubt in the millions, since many cases are not reported because infections are often asymptomatic or are confused with other common maladies such as flu. Among the reported cases in the United States, more than 30,000 have had neurological symptoms like mine, resulting in about 23,000 hospitalizations and close to 3,000 deaths.

As climate change makes it easier for mosquitoes to proliferate in many places, West Nile virus disease as well as other mosquito-borne illnesses are emerging as greater threats in this country and elsewhere. Yet, efforts to develop a vaccine or treatment for this illness are modest compared with those for other diseases of public health importance.

So, how do we address this emerging public health threat? Vaccine development must go forward; however, to be successful, clinical trials must be international and include countries with a consistent and large number of cases each year. The pathway to a vaccine cannot be in the United States alone. Global public-private partnerships between the N.I.H. and the drug industry have historically proved successful in the development of a number of important vaccines such as those against hepatitis B and Covid. There is no reason this shouldn’t also be the case for a West Nile virus vaccine.

The same holds true for the development of antiviral drugs. There is no insurmountable scientific obstacle to developing safe and effective antiviral drugs for West Nile virus infection. The pharmaceutical industry in collaboration with the N.I.H. and other partners had remarkable success in developing effective drugs for other emerging viral infections. Examples include lifesaving drugs for H.I.V. infection, therapies for hepatitis C infection and useful drugs for Covid-19 and influenza. With international research partnerships and political will spurred by an engaged activist community such as we have seen with H.I.V. and now long Covid, West Nile virus treatments and prevention tools should be within our grasp.

There's a popular post making the rounds with someone getting very angry about people leaving "Wow I never heard about this" comments (or even just tags) on an informative post about Dengue fever. This stuff is so stupid.

It really hits all the notes, too, with people getting defensive and saying it's not their fault the American school system failed them, with the OP replying that you have to take responsibility and learn about the stuff on your own ... How does one learn about things of which one is not even aware? Google "What are some important things I have never heard of" I guess.

The people in question weren't even like dismissive, they didn't say "Pff, why should I concern myself with this?" they just said that they didn't know something before reading a post which was meant to teach people who didn't know something. If you don't want people to get defensive, you have to stop attacking them over benign shit!

Part of the job of spreading information is having to interact with people who don't know this information. Getting mad when someone admits to not having already known this information disqualifies you as an effective spreader of that information.

Then again, the post complaining about the ignorance has crossed my dash several times, while the original informative post hasn't. So I guess pointless outrage is a way to spread information after all.

yo!

i love your blog & it's been a safe space for me lately 🥰

in your latest reblog you wrote "went through" the pandemic, referring to the ongoing pandemic in the past tense.

as i'm sure you know, COVID is still one of the leading causes of death for many people & is still disabling thousands on a daily basis.

i'm sure it wasn't malicious, but referring to the pandemic in the past tense when so many are still directly affected by it & testing positive to this day is ableist language, because it centers those who have the luxury of health to falsely think of the pandemic - and, as a consequence, vulnerable folks - as a thing of the past.

please consider the language you use when referring to the ongoing pandemic, which many (including myself) are still masking to protect our health to this day 😷

thank you! 🤍

Hey I know youre not coming from a bad place saying this, and I know you’re trying to call me out but it’s kind of bold to assume that i was not one of the people with disabilities that was affected by the pandemic while this is a blog that’s openly about living with disabilities. i have eds, caught covid even while masking, lost people in my life over it, was left seriously sick after, went through every type of doctor, and ended up doing experimental treatment because no one really knew what happened to me and they still don’t know, and i still haven’t recovered (probably never will, tho who knows) in 2024. i am a person with a disability left in terrible conditions after having it. i still mask. i am one of the people you refer to while also calling my language ableist because i used the past tense. I don’t really know what tense to use while talking about it. And it seems a lot of people disagree on it too, so i honestly don’t quite know what to think I should use because it’s honestly confusing. i am extremely aware covid is very very real, and it has changed my life forever ever since i had it.

I do not have the false luxury of that belief that you seem to assume i do. It’s quite hurtful, and I’ve been pretty open about it on this blog, and it’s one of the reasons I even made this blog. I’m literally disabled.

Not only I survived covid in terrible condition with awful levels of chronic back pain + chronic migraines + pots but i also survived a dengue epidemic this year in brazil and I haven’t been doing well ever since getting sick months ago.

unfortunately, hmo has declared covid to no longer be a pandemic. It was still a pretty controversial decision, I don’t know if people are unaware that covid isn’t serious, I certainly am not, and I don’t personally think it is “over” or in “the past” because this is honestly my present and it will be my future.

I know you don’t mean it, but the assumption still feels weird because you’re sending this to a person who has a blog about living with a disability, and it even says so on my description and pinned post.

I don’t know what language to use to describe this anymore, and I know it will be controversial either way. But just please, please, please, don’t assume that I’m not a disabled person who doesn’t mask and didn’t have their lives and health fall into crumbles after having covid and then having dengue which is a very serious epidemic in Brazil right now. My country was one of the most affected by covid, and I saw my life change completely after having it, and I knew people who were left extremely sick and died because of it. On top of that we had another epidemic virus outbreak (dengue). On top of that I already had a chronic illness (EDS). Then on top of that this is a blog about living with a disability and chronic pain.

And it seems specialists don’t know what language to use either, but most of these specialists are aware the disease is still very serious:

When I asked Dr. Mandy Cohen, director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), she didn’t give a direct answer. “Rather than getting caught up in the semantics of it,” she says, people should feel confident that “we are outside of the emergency [phase]. But I don’t want folks to forget that COVID is still here and still poses a risk.”

Even Maria Van Kerkhove, director of epidemic and pandemic prevention and preparedness at the WHO, admitted that the issue is a “confusing” one. The WHO continues to describe COVID-19 as a pandemic on its website. Van Kerkhove says that’s reasonable given the virus’ continued global presence, even though we are no longer in the crisis state we were in 2020—but, she says, there’s no definitive, yes-or-no conclusion about whether that’s the right term to use.

(Source)

Just please, please, don’t assume things like this because I used past tense. Whatever tense I use, it feels like there will be people who don’t agree, I get that. I don’t know what language to use, and I don’t want to be stuck on the semantics of it, because I feel quite stuck still to the awful things that have happened to me these past years, the ones that are happening right now. But that does not mean I don’t think covid isn’t serious or deadly or that it leaves people with chronic illnesses even worse or that it didn’t cause mental health issues or economic issues or social issues. because I have lived through the very serious ramifications of having it.
