The month of June is expected to usher in the rainy season. It won’t be a pretty month for many, due to the negative conditions that come with the rainy days.

Aside from the muddy roads and minor flooding in some streets due to clogged drainage (which we have managed to live with these past years), we are looking at the possible surge in dengue cases.

If you’ve experienced having dengue or have a loved one who went through it, you’ll know that dengue is scary. It is a life-threatening or a fatal ailment that is transmitted by mosquitoes carrying the dengue virus.

It affects mostly children because they are the ones outdoors most of the time, and they come in contact with mosquitos.

And because the rainy days are often associated with school opening, school officials must ensure to rid their campuses of possible mosquito breeding sites, so as not to endanger their pupils.

Stagnant water in empty bottles or in clogged canals should be a thing of the past. Science has proven that if we eliminate the breeding places of mosquitos, we can beat the chances of dengue.

So instead of reinventing the wheel, let’s heed what our health officials tell us. Dengue, after all, is everyone’s concern.
