Tez garmi ke dauran heat stroke ke khatre ke alawa, health services directorate ne logon ko talab, springs aur dusre stagnant paani wale water bodies mein swimming karke garmi se rahat lene ke against bhi warning di hai, kyunki isse leptospirosis hone ka risk ho sakta hai.
State epidemiologist Dr Utkarsh Betodkar ne kaha ki leptospira bacteria skin par kisi cut ke through ya phir aankhon, naak aur muh ki mucus membranes ke through body mein enter kar sakta hai.
Unhone aise water bodies mein swimming karne aur bina ubala hua paani peene se bachne ki salah di, kyunki raat ke waqt rodents wahan paani peene aate hain. Rodents apne urine ke through leptospira bacteria failate hain.
“Agar kisi water body mein paani flow nahi ho raha hai, toh logon ko aise paani mein enter nahi karna chahiye aur na hi us paani ko peena chahiye. Humein farmers se bhi leptospirosis ke cases milte hain, khaaskar un logon se jo rice fields mein kaam karte hain,” unhone kaha.
Unhone public ko fever with rash, chicken pox aur measles ko lekar bhi satark rehne ko kaha, kyunki extreme summers mein in bimariyon ke cases zyada dekhne ko milte hain.
Unhone salah di ki agar kisi ko chicken pox ho jaye, toh use turant khud ko isolate kar lena chahiye aur doctor se check-up karwana chahiye. “Isolation tab tak zaroori hai jab tak aakhri pustule poori tarah sookh na jaye, kyunki us waqt tak yeh bimari doosron tak phail sakti hai,” unhone kaha.
Is extreme garmi ke dauran health centres ko logon ko hydrated rehne aur heat stroke se jude symptoms ko lekar jagruk karne ke nirdesh diye gaye hain. “Har baar poora heat stroke nahi hota, lekin log behosh ho sakte hain, chakkar aa sakte hain, headaches ho sakte hain. Isliye hydrated rehna bahut zaroori hai,” unhone kaha.
