Uh, I think you mean 'how to *avoid* dengue virus', right? Because trust me, you absolutely do NOT want to 'get' it. It's like a really bad surprise party where the main guest is a mosquito and the party favor is excruciating body aches. Avoid at all costs!

Beta, you must be careful with these things. Dengue is from mosquito bites. You should always use mosquito nets, especially for children. Some people also put neem leaves in water to keep mosquitoes away. But for treatment, you must go to the doctor, these home remedies are only for prevention.

I think there's a typo in your question, you definitely don't want to 'get' dengue! To *avoid* it, wear full sleeves, use mosquito repellent, and make sure there's no stagnant water around your house. Dengue fever is really serious and can be very painful.

I hope you mean how to *prevent* dengue, not get it. There's a lot of misinformation out there about various diseases. For dengue, it's about mosquito control. Don't trust random 'cures' or prevention tips you find online without checking with a doctor or reputable health organization.

Yaar, I think you made a typo, you mean 'how to *avoid* dengue', right? Because nobody wants to 'get' that! Actually, it's all about avoiding mosquito bites. Use repellents, wear full clothes, and make sure ghar pe there's no standing water where mosquitoes can breed. It's a nasty one.
