# An email about dengue fever
Dear
Nasim,
Hope
you are fine! You might be aware of the spread of dengue all over the city.
Many people got affected in my locality which insisted me to write to you as I
care much about you. Dengue is a non-contagious disease as it never transmits
from one person to other. It is spread only through the infected mosquitoes
which are active during the daytime. If a non-infected mosquito stings to draw
blood from the person who is affected with dengue virus, then the virus
migrates to the salivary glands of the mosquito. When this mosquito stings
another person, the virus gets transmitted to him. It cannot spread directly
from one person to the other. I want you to take some precautions to prevent
yourself from getting infected. It is advised to wear full pants and full
sleeve shirts. Please do apply mosquito repellent creams all over the body
parts which are not covered. Use mosquito nets while you sleep and stay away
from the infected people. Also, make sure that you do not allow water to get
stagnated for a long time as mosquitoes lay eggs in the fresh stagnated water. These simple yet effective measures can
greatly reduce our risk of dengue fever. I’m excited to hear back from you.
Take
care of yourself. Stay safe and healthy.
Lots
of Love,
Imran Yusuf
