Stay Well This Rainy Season: Essential Tips to Prevent Malaria, Flu and More

1 / 3

The rainy season brings cooler weather but also sparks spikes in malaria, flu, allergies and stomach infections. Stagnant water, damp walls and floods create ideal conditions for mosquitoes, germs and mould. Protect yourself by sleeping under an insecticide-treated net, using repellent, and clearing water sources around your home. Drink only boiled, treated or filtered water and wash fruits, vegetables and hands thoroughly. Boost immunity with a balanced diet of fruits, vegetables, lean proteins and whole grains. Stay hydrated, change out of wet clothes promptly to avoid fungal infections, and maintain regular exercise indoors if it pours. Keep your living space dry and ventilated to reduce mould growth, and seek medical advice early if fever or persistent symptoms appear. These simple habits can help you enjoy the rainy season without the usual health setbacks.
