00:00Aside from the flood, the problem now is that those on land have skin diseases after being submerged in water.

00:06The DOH said that they are also distributing medicines to prevent the spread of leptospirosis.

00:12This is what Dano Tingcunco is talking about.

00:16Some days of floods in some places in Linggayan, Pangasinan are already causing discomfort to the residents.

00:22We are always submerged here when we cook.

00:25It's spicy and painful.

00:28The DOH has a supply of medicines to the health centers.

00:32Benjamin was injured in his legs and toes during the floods in Malanday, Marikina.

00:38I used to have a lot of friends.

00:45After the floods, a few days after the landslide, they were all injured.

00:55When I heard the news, they were all dead.

00:58At the evacuation center, he was prescribed medicines.

01:01We've been here for a few days.

01:03There were no floods or landslides.

01:09I'm still getting wet because I have to buy food.

01:13The DOH is already concerned about the possible increase in cases of leptospirosis.

01:18Leptospirosis is a bacterial infection that occurs when infected animals such as fish pee in the water.

01:26Bacteria usually enter the body through the wound, mouth, nose, or eyes.

01:31Symptoms include fever, nausea, dizziness, headache, and nausea.

01:37The so-called incubation period has a time.

01:40In simple words, it's before the disease gets worse.

01:43It doesn't show up right away in the span of one to two weeks.

01:47According to the DOH, leptospirosis can be easily prevented by taking prophylaxis or antibiotics such as doxycycline,

01:55according to the doctor's prescription and advice.

01:58Doxycycline is included in the existing price freeze.

02:02It's free at health centers and evacuation centers.

02:05But the DOH reminds us that doxycycline should not be taken just like that.

02:09A doctor should prescribe it and its dosage depends on the exposure to water.

02:15If you give doxycycline, which is not necessary, it will become super lepto.

02:21There is a so-called antimicrobial resistance to bacteria because it can affect the embryo in the uterus.

02:30And for 12-year-olds and below, it has an effect on their growth.
