Health volunteers trained on dengue fever

PATTAYA:--Village health volunteers were given a refresher course on spotting and preventing dengue fever in their communities.

 

Pattaya Deputy Mayor Manote Nongyai opened the April 23 workshop for Surveillance and Rapid Response Team members.

 

Public Health Department Nurse Anya Jantrakard and Burapha University’s Nattapol Sukthong and Thanakorn Netwong lectured to the 150 volunteers about how dengue spreads and how to spot the symptoms.

 

Volunteers were shown how to create a surveillance plan and given knowledge on how to respond if the disease is spotted.

Training 101 - get rid of all standing water where mosquitoes breed.

Training 102 - wait two weeks and Chula University will come up with a cure.

Drain all containers of water around

the house, any where mossies can breed . 

Old car tyres..... Anywhere there is water they will breed

closer to home the better for them

I don't believe people understand the relationship between mosquitoes and water. My neighbor was cutting the grass because he wanted to get rid of mosquitoes.

Which is probably why they were trained on prevention and early detection instead.

You're right, but, they do have wings i.e. they can move around. Another option could be to exchange the wifebeaters and shorts, to long sleeved shirts and trousers.
