Live healthy and long
Rizal, Philippines | September 7, 2013
I just learned from Asia News that dengue is on the rise at Singapore. (Dengue fever cases in Singapore tops 12,000) Despite advances in the standard of living at Singapore, they have not been spared from this dreaded disease that has no known cure. This killed many Filipinos several years back.
Before, only children fell ill to dengue; but it has mutated and now afflicts adults.
Maybe the DOH in the Philippines has done a good job of controlling the disease, from controlling the breeding of mosquitoes use of natural insect repellents.
There is a natural insect repellent made from Citronella oil that is safer than the Western made DEET mosquito repellent. (Bug Shield by Human Nature)
Elsewhere, there are posts here that suggest the use of Citronella grass (Cimbopogon nardus ) planted in the yards, planted in pots placed in houses to repel dengue carrying mosquitoes. For me, this strategy works - no more mosquitoes in our house. Isnt this amazing?
May we suggest this to Singapore scientists/health officials?
