Dengue Cases Surge in Bengaluru: BBMP Issues Urgent Warning
Dengue fever is spreading in Bengaluru, with many cases reported recently.
It's caused by mosquitoes that breed in standing water, often found during the monsoon season.
The city is taking steps to control mosquitoes, and people are advised to remove standing water, use repellents, and cover up.
Common signs include fever, headache, and body aches; if symptoms worsen, seek medical help immediately.
Bengaluru reported 442 dengue cases in July and 1,685 since the start of the year.
The BBMP has initiated intensified mosquito-control measures due to the rise in cases.
Heavy rains and stagnant water, common during monsoons, facilitate mosquito breeding.
Common dengue symptoms include fever, headache, joint pain, and skin rash.
BBMP urges residents to prevent mosquito breeding through various precautions.
