Dengue

Dengue fever
 , also known as break bone fever, is an infectious tropical disease caused by the dengue virus.

Do you have rashes like this? And experiencing high fever lasting 3 to 5 days, rash, severe headache, pain behind the eyes, and muscle and joint pain? If so, you could be suffering from dengue fever.


And did you know that use of aspirin and disprine in dengue is strictly forbidden as they auxiliary increase the platelets destruction.
There is no specific treatment for dengue fever and most people recover within 2 weeks. To help with recovery, general measures include:

1. Getting plenty of bed rest
2. Drinking lots of fluids
3. Taking medicine to reduce fever. Avoid aspirin but paracetamol is considered safe

For severe dengue symptoms including shock and coma, hospitalisation and aggressive emergency treatment with fluid and electrolyte replacement may be necessary to save lives.


Dengue fever,

  also known as breakbone fever, is a mosquito-borne infection that causes a severe flu-like illness. There are four different viruses that can cause dengue fever, all of which spread by a certain type of mosquito. Dengue can vary from mild to severe; the more severe forms include dengue shock syndrome and dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF). Patients who develop the more serious forms of dengue fever usually need to be hospitalized.

There are currently no vaccines for Dengue fever. The best way to prevent the disease is to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes altogether. Although there is no certain treatment for Dengue, it can be treated as long as it is caught before developing into dengue shock syndrome or dengue hemorrhagic fever.

With more than one-third of the world’s population living in areas at risk for transmission, dengue infection is a leading cause of illness and death in the tropics and subtropics. As many as 100 million people are infected yearly. Dengue is caused by any one of four related viruses transmitted by mosquitoes. There are not yet any vaccines to prevent infection with dengue virus (DENV) and the most effective protective measures are those that avoid mosquito bites. When infected, early recognition and prompt supportive treatment can substantially lower the risk of developing severe disease.

Dengue has emerged as a worldwide problem only since the 1950s. Although dengue rarely occurs in the continental United States, it is endemic in Puerto Rico, and in many popular tourist destinations in Latin America and Southeast Asia; periodic outbreaks occur in Samoa and Guam.

GM Hummer Ultrasonic Mosquito repeller

Bought a GM Hummer Ultrasonic Mosquito repeller costing Rs 120/-, today tested it but to my disappointment  this product does not have any effect in repelling mosquito’s.

In short I can say that I am quite disappointed with this product as I see plenty of mosquitoes flying in my room. All-out liquid mosquito repellent is far more effective than this crap product.

GM modular is a good company making quality products how ever this product was a total useless you can check out the product on this site

Repellents, traps and other tools meant to eliminate or prevent pest attacks or invasions can sometimes have questionable health effects or be considered inhumane. Ultrasonic devices are meant to repel pests through a high-frequency sound that humans cannot hear. An examination of the scientific trial history of ultrasonic repellents can determine whether they really work. Have a question? Get an answer from a Medical Professional now!

    Scarcity of Scientific Data
        The history of scientific trials performed on ultrasonic pest control devices is, unfortunately, short and uneventful. Some say that because of such a serious lack of evidence involving the effectiveness of such devices, they most likely are ineffective. Others argue, however, that simply because there isn't an abundance of proof to the contrary doesn't mean ultrasonic repellents don't work.
    Repelling Mosquitoes
        The Clinician's Guide to Mosquitoes and Mosquito Repellents, a collection of information gathered from peer-reviewed research studies and published by the Annals of Internal Medicine, concluded that "Ultrasonic devices, outdoor bug 'zappers,' and bat houses are not effective against mosquitoes."
        A blinded, controlled trial reported in May 2000 found similar results. It said in its summary, "The ultrasound device used was not effective against mosquitoes in this strictly controlled trial."
            A study performed in the Philippines set out to test three different ultrasonic devices that each emitted sounds of different frequencies against rats. Although a small level of effectiveness was observed, the results were "highly dependent upon ultrasonic frequency, intensity and the pre-existing rodent-infestation condition" according to the abstract of the study's report. While higher frequencies may provide some protection against rats, there are so many factors involved that ultrasonic devices may not necessarily be a cure-all for rodent infestations.
    Conclusion and Recommendation

        Based on the limited amount of proof available, the efficiency claims of ultrasonic repellents are highly suspect. Many claim to have seen results from such devices, however, so ultimately the decision is up to the consumer whether or not to invest money in such electronics.
        If ultrasonic repellent is something you'd still like to try, then do so. Scientific tests can only show relationships between two variables and occasionally do not hold up in all circumstances. However, given the results shown above, purchasing a device at a location that accepts returns is the best recommendation.
