This is a repost reminder to stay vigilant against leptospirosis, especially during the rainy season. Leptospirosis is a serious bacterial infection that can be contracted through contact with water contaminated by the urine of infected animals, often during floods. To protect yourself, avoid wading through floodwaters whenever possible. If exposure is unavoidable, wear protective boots and clothing. Always clean and disinfect any wounds and seek medical attention if you experience symptoms like fever, body pain, or redness of the eyes. Do not self-medicate—take antibiotics only if prescribed by a healthcare professional. Let’s stay safe and informed. Prevention is always better than cure.
Post-flood alert: Leptospirosis is a risk. Stay out of floodwaters, cover any wounds, and wash hands thoroughly. Protect yourself and your family!
