A single bite. And the right mosquito in question is the
Aedes (Stegomyia) aegypti found in most tropical countries such as India, the
Philippines, Vietnam, Brazil, Malaysia, etc. The Aedes aegypti is a
particularly nasty one because it chooses no time in which to strike. In
theory, they bite at dusk and dawn, but in practice, they can bite anytime of
the day.
Symptoms of Dengue
Fever
1. High fever which lasts from 2 to 7 days, up to 105
degrees Fahrenheit or 40.5 degrees Celsius
2. Severe headache
3. Retro-orbital pain (or pain behind the eye)
4. Muscle aches and pains
5. Severe joint pains (Dengue fever is also known as breakbone fever.)
6. Enlarged lymph nodes
7. General weakness
8. Nausea and Vomiting
9. and the classic Hemorrhagic rash.
Treatment
Dengue fever does not have a specific treatment. Only the
symptoms of the disease are controlled using certain medicines. In the case of
high fever, Acetaminophen (Tylenol) might be prescribed. It is important that
patients avoid Aspirin during this period. Since dehydration often occurs
during the disease, it is important to provide fluids to the patient when signs
of dehydration are apparent.
Preventive Ways to
Stop Dengue Fever
1. Clean up your backyard.
2. Check for stagnant water, including flower vases, pails,
cans, bins, tires, aquariums, puddles, etc. Replace the water in vases
regularly, empty the cans and keep them upside down.
3. Buy a mosquito-repellant lotion for you and your family.
4. Opt for long sleeves and pants and, if possible, even
socks.
5. If you're swift, kill a mosquito and more. This is no
time to be squeamish.
The dengue virus is not contagious and cannot spread
directly from one individual to another. To spread, there must be a pathway
that goes "person-to-mosquito-to-another-person".
