Monsoon brings relief from the heat but also increases health risks.

Waterlogging and humidity create breeding grounds for mosquitoes, leading to diseases like dengue, malaria and chikungunya.

Contaminated water often causes diarrhoea, cholera and typhoid. Skin infections and viral fevers also become common.

With timely care and hygiene, most monsoon health troubles can be avoided. Stay alert and protect yourself this rainy season.
