Monsoons in Mumbai
Monsoon and Health Concerns
In 2022 alone, the city reported thousands of cases of water-borne diseases, vector-borne diseases, and viral infections during the monsoon. The MCGM’s public health department highlighted Dengue, Malaria, Leptospirosis, and Typhoid among the most prevalent diseases, emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis and proper treatment.
One case that stood out from the last monsoon season was that of Mr. Sharma, a 40-year-old businessman from Thane. A hectic lifestyle coupled with neglect of personal health made him an easy target for monsoon-related ailments. Fever, chills, and fatigue struck him hard one week into the monsoon, which he dismissed as seasonal flu. But when his condition worsened, he reached out to Dr. Vaidya’s Laboratory. The tests run on him revealed a case of Leptospirosis, a disease transmitted through the urine of infected animals, often seen in water-logged areas. Thanks to the timely diagnosis and immediate medical intervention, Mr. Sharma could return to his healthy self within weeks.
Importance of Preventive Measures
- Hygiene: Wash your hands frequently with soap and avoid touching your face to reduce the risk of infections. Bathing twice a day can also help you stay fresh and healthy.
- Diet: Include immunity-boosting foods in your diet. Fresh fruits, vegetables, herbs, and spices can enhance your immunity, preparing your body to fight off infections.
- Exercise: Regular exercise boosts your immune system and keeps you fit. Practice indoor exercises or yoga during the rainy season to stay active.
- Drinking Water: Boil your drinking water or use a water purifier to avoid water-borne diseases.
- Avoid Stagnant Water: Stagnant water is a breeding ground for mosquitoes. Regularly check and clean water storage areas.
- Mosquito Repellents: Use mosquito repellents, screens on windows, and nets to protect against mosquito-borne diseases.
- Vaccination: Timely vaccinations can protect you from several diseases, including flu, pneumonia, and typhoid.
