Pune: A total of 108 cases of dengue have been found in Pune in the month of June. Most cases were reported from Sahkarnagar, Boat club area and Bhandarkar road.

The information was shared by Pune Municipal Corporation’s health department chief Dr S T Pardeshi.

There were 298 cases in the last six months which included 108 for June alone.

Dengue cases are on the rise, and everyone is rushing to find ways to protect him or herself from the disease. However what most people must remember while taking necessary precautions is that dengue mosquitos only bite during the day and breed in clean, fresh water. Often people remain unaware of these facts and protect themselves from bites during the nights by using mosquito nets and repellent creams.

They also feel that they are the safest when in clean urban environments, not realizing that mosquitos could be breeding in the clean water filled bucket kept in their backyard.
Remaining in well–screened or air–conditioned buildings during the day can reduce the risk of exposure. When outside during the day, one should wear clothing that reduces the amount of exposed skin and use an effective mosquito repellent.
