How is dengue fever spread?
With all the recent rains, I'm worried about dengue fever spreading in our area again. I have a small child at home. How is dengue fever spread from person to person or otherwise?

Dengue is spread through the bite of infected Aedes mosquitoes that breed in clean, stagnant water. If you get infected, manage your hydration carefully and consult a doctor, especially if you have pre-existing conditions like diabetes.

Dengue is transmitted by the bite of an infected Aedes mosquito. Please use mosquito nets and keep your surroundings clear of standing water to stay safe.

It is spread by mosquito bites, particularly during the daytime. If you are recovering, make sure to rest completely and only resume light walks once your doctor clears your platelet levels and permits physical activity.

I completely understand how worrying it is to hear about dengue outbreaks in your area, I used to panic constantly. Just know that it only spreads through mosquito bites, not from person to person, so using repellents can help you feel much safer.

This fever is carried by mosquitoes that breed in stored water around our homes. Keeping your surroundings clean and scheduling routine checkups for any sudden fever is key to maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

It spreads when an Aedes mosquito bites an infected person and then bites someone else. To be completely safe, get a blood test done at the first sign of high fever or joint pain, and consult a doctor immediately.
