Stills used to create awareness and to take care of the deadly diseases ……around our surroundings.

Chikungunya is an infection caused by the chikungunya virus. Symptoms include the sudden onset of fever two to four days after exposure.

The name comes form a word in the African Kimakonde language and means “bent over in pain”. It describes the stooped appearance of persons suffering with severe joint pains.

It is transferred from human to human by mosquitoes.

The females of Aedes Aegyptii and Aedes albopictus are the main species of mosquito that spread the disease.

These mosquitoes bite through the day.

Incubation Period: Ranging from 3-12 days, usually 3-7 days.

The Virus cannot be transmitted directly form one person to another.

It is not transmitted by Hugs or Kisses, by touch or through the air we breathe.

Difference between Chikungunya and Dengue :

Chikungunya can circulate with the help of monkeys, birds and cattle, but dengue spreads only through mosquitoes.

While for dengue the symptoms subside in about 15 days, for Chikungunya the symptoms can prolong for 3-6 months.

While Chikungunya’s main symptoms are high fever and excruciating joint pain, dengue manifests with high fever, drop in platelet count and rash.

In December 2013, the world Health Organization (WHO) reported the first transmission of chikungunya virus in the western Hemisphere identified in Saint Martin.

The virus was first detected in Tanzania in 1952. Since 2004, intense and extensive outbreaks have been reported in Africa, on islands in the Indian Ocean and the Pacific region, and Southeast Asia (India, Indonesia, Maldives, Sri Lanka, and Thailand).

Prevention is better than cure :

Avoid getting bitten by mosquitoes. Keep the surroundings clear of stagnant water or pools where mosquitoes can breed.

Listed in the World Health Organization’s R&D Blueprint (2016), the recently established Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations has it on their agenda to develop a vaccine for Chikungunya, along with other diseases such as MERS, Ebola and others.

Allopathy :

The Nilavembu decoction is suggested as a herbal treatment, and while many people believe in this, it has not yet been verified by studies. At present it is recommended to use this only in parallel with advice from a doctor.
