Recommendations to protect yourself from mosquito bites and dengue fever
The preventive measures to be put in place are as follows:
- Eliminate and empty stagnant water that can be breeding grounds for mosquitoes: cups, small containers, gutters, tires, plants, etc.
- Protect yourself, including during the 7 days following the appearance of symptoms to protect those around you (repellent, mosquito net, etc.); and continue to protect yourself, even if you have already been sick with dengue fever before
- Consult a doctor at the first symptoms (fever, headache, muscle/joint pain, nausea, vomiting, etc.) and take the sample in the medical analysis laboratory prescribed by your doctor to confirm the diagnosis of dengue
- If you are sick with dengue fever:
- continue to protect yourself against mosquito bites to avoid transmitting the disease to those around you and monitor your state of health,
- consult your doctor or, in his absence, an emergency service in the event of a deterioration in your state of health.
