3. Ignoring Mosquito Protection
Stagnant water left behind after rainfall becomes an ideal breeding ground for mosquitoes.
Mosquito bites can spread serious illnesses, including:
- Dengue
- Malaria
- Chikungunya
Prevention Tips
- Use mosquito repellents.
- Wear full-sleeved clothing.
- Sleep under mosquito nets if needed.
- Remove stagnant water around your home.
- Keep windows protected with mosquito screens.
4. Wearing Wet Clothes or Damp Footwear

Possible Problems
- Athlete’s foot
- Fungal skin infections
- Foot odor
- Rashes
- Itching
Stay Safe
- Dry yourself immediately after getting wet.
- Wear clean, dry socks.
- Allow shoes to dry completely before wearing them again.
- Keep your feet clean and dry.
