Brain-fever caused by mosquito or tick bites:(ENCEPHALATITIS)
This fever is followed by severe headache,sensitivity to light and nausea vomitting,stiff-neck and back-ache,drowsiness or tremors and some times coma.
To avoid biting by mosquitoes or ticks one should adopt the following tips:
1.Staying in-doors at dawn and dusk and in the early evening, when mosquitoes are most active.
2.Wearing long sleaved shirts and long pants.
3.Avoiding wearing floral fragrances from perfumes,soaps,hair care products and lotions-these may attract mosquitoes.
4.Spraying clothing with an insect- repellant containing PERMETHRIN or DEET(N,N-diethyl-meta-toluamide)Note-avoid applying repellants to the hands of children.Repellants may irritate their eyes and mouth.
5.Do not use old tyres or play equipment nor keep them on your property for other reasons.When old tyres collect water, they become excellent breeding ground for mosquitoes.
6.We can limit the number of places available for mosquitoes to lay their eggs by eliminating standing water sources from around homes.
7.A herbal insect-repellant is lemon-grass oil which can also be used to avoid mosquito-bites.
GINKGO(Ginkgo biloba),St.john's wort(Hypericum perforolum) and ROSEMARY(Rosemarinus officinalis)-These herbs improve poor blood circulation especially poor cerebral circulation,aiding memory and concentration and helping in cases of encephalatitis and un-stable mind.These herbs and the above precautions have to be used under expert medical advice.
