Why dengue spreads Dengue disease is caused by mosquito bites, but in India, it is known as bone fever. Dengue is a virus-borne disease that is caused by the bite of the Aedes mosquito. According to a report, about 500,000 people are hospitalized every year after suffering from dengue.
Symptoms- Symptoms are seen a week after the mosquito bite. In fact, its patient develops a high fever for 2 to 7 days. Symptoms include sudden high fever, severe headache, pain behind the eyes and pain in the eyes, pain in muscles and joints, measles-like rash on the chest and upper limbs, dizziness, panic, blood clots on the body and a lack of white blood cells.

Do not leave your skin open. The Aedes mosquito thrives in clean and still water so cover the water vessel or tank all the time.
