The best thing that you could do to prevent mosquito breeding is to get rid of stagnant water in your home. These mosquitoes do not even need a lot of water. Even just a bucket with a little water at the bottom, a planter that has a bottom water catch, leaky pipes, or a pooling area under your plants is enough for them to breed.

According to two of the country�s leading epidermiologists who act as advisers to National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, dengue fever could actually cause havoc in the United States – spreading itself widely as mosquitoes that transmit the disease can move into more states. Anthony Fauci and David Morens state in their article in the Journal of the American Medical Association that the potentially deadly virus that usually strikes in the tropics has already struck Hawaii and Texas.

The reason for this is the erratic climate changes caused by global warming. If you�ve noticed, there has been an increase in rainfall and that temperature and humidity changes have also changed dramatically in the recent years.

Water + heat + humidity = happy mosquitoes

And what is scary is that according to the United Nations’ 2007-08 Human Development Report , �these types of weather changes may more than double the number of people exposed to dengue worldwide by 2080. �

Woops! And they say Al Gore was wrong� Tsk!

代替ヒーリングのページを発見した。内容はおもしろく、デング熱患者が摂るといい食べ物を紹介したコーナーがあった。ただし特定の食物がなぜ許されているのかについては記されていないので、とにかく、医師に聞くのがいつもベストである。

デング熱患者の夕食は粥と温野菜から成るべきある。 油分は厳禁で、塩、スパイスも同様だ。ただし、レモン果汁は味付けの薄い料理には使用できる場合がある。軽食にかゆ、トースト、またはビスケットは一日中食べることができる。お茶はしょうがやtulsiなどの解熱作用のある薬草から作った物でなくてはならない。 食べてもいい唯一の果物、りんごと料理用バナナのplantandaだ。
