Simple rainy season safety measures for this monsoon
1/6
Ingest boiled, pure water
During the monsoon, water sources may become contaminated, which raises the risk of contracting waterborne illnesses. Some of the most prevalent health problems during this season include fever and stomach problems. You must have a water filter at home, but you can also boil water for drinking on a regular basis.

Handwashing is essential
When you are away from home and once you get back, make sure to thoroughly wash or sanitise your hands before you eat anything. Good hand hygiene practises virtually eliminate all microbes that may be present on the skin of your hands, and as we all know, the monsoon season sees an increase in the population of dangerous germs.

Avoid fast food and fried foods
Popular street food and freshly cut fruits are sold by a large number of hawkers and kept out in the open. As these foods are kept in the open and are susceptible to harmful microorganisms, it is best to avoid them. The likelihood of getting sick after eating these foods increases with the amount of time they spend outside.

Make every effort to avoid mosquitoes
Cleaning up our stagnant water is only the beginning of the precaution against mosquitoes. You could get bitten at any time or place. Therefore, be sure to generously apply insect repellents before going outside. Make sure to use mosquito nets, repellents, etc. even inside your home. Go to the doctor for regular checkups and whenever you feel ill.

Don't get wet too frequently when it rains
Being stuck in heavy downpours nearly every other day in a city like Mumbai makes this easier said than done. If you're going outside, it's a good idea to have an umbrella or a raincoat with you so you can avoid getting soaking wet and getting sick.

Boost your intake of vitamin C.
The monsoon season is ideal for the growth of bacteria and viruses. You'll notice that viral fevers, allergic reactions, and other viral infections are common during this time of year. In a similar vein, there are more bacteria in the air now than at any other time. Increasing your vitamin C intake is among the simplest ways to accomplish this. For a diet high in vitamin C, consume oranges, fresh green vegetables, and sprouts.
