Buzz 46

The drastic fluctuations in temperature and high humidity during this season make one sensitive to many viruses causing a cold and flu. 

1. Dengue The monsoon is perhaps the best time for the mosquitoes to breed. The fever caused by dengue can be dangerous to your health.

2. Cough & Cold The rise and fall of the temperature, which takes place during this rainy season, makes our body prone to bacterial/viral diseases which then result in cold and flu.

3. Cholera Another monsoon disease that is caused due to the consumption of contaminated food and water is cholera.

4. Diarrhoea This widespread bowel disease is caused due to the consumption of unhygienic foods and water.

5. Typhoid A water-borne disease, typhoid is commonly caused due to poor sanitation.

6. Stomach Infections Vomiting, diarrhoea and stomach pain are the most common stomach infections to get in this weather.

Your immunity goes for a toss, hence it’s important to take extra care of your body.
