00:00The number of dengue cases in the country is still high despite the fact that the number of cases has decreased in the last few weeks, according to the Department of Health.
00:08But some Filipinos are still careful.
00:10In Divisoria, many are selling anti-fungal agents.
00:14If those and some other anti-fungal agents are effective, let's see in Katrina Sun's Tip Talk.
00:1910 years old? Yes.
00:27Divine and her two children took part in Divisoria.
00:31Not for clothes or school supplies, but instead for the destruction of their electric mosquito repellent.
00:37They were all evacuated to Lamok.
00:39Especially her 10-year-old son who was diagnosed with dengue this December.
00:44Every afternoon, they were wearing pajamas.
00:47In our house, I was scrubbing the floor so the mosquitoes would go away.
00:57Aside from electric mosquito repellent, insecticide spray, rechargeable plastic mosquito swatter,
01:05sticky mouse board that can also be used in Langaw and Katol can also be sold in Divisoria.
01:09That's what we usually buy because of what happened in QC.
01:13Katol is what Aiza uses.
01:15I use it every afternoon and night so the mosquitoes in our house would go away.
01:21But according to an infectious disease doctor, Katol is not effective.
01:27There are studies that actually estimate that the particulate material that is produced from one burning mosquito coil
01:35is equivalent to actually 75 cigarettes to about 100 cigarettes.
01:41And this exposure can actually pose a health risk, especially if the child is pregnant.
01:49It is also said that it is also weak against mosquito repellent lotions.
01:53It's a very good repellent.
01:55Unfortunately, sometimes some of the patients develop a skin reaction to the chemical substance.
02:04That's one.
02:05Mosquitoes live and multiply in stagnant water or stagnant water like wheels.
02:11That's why in Old Balara, Quezon City, the old wheels were removed from the roofs and hollow blocks were replaced.
02:18Removing the water from the embankments is one of the steps in cleaning the environment
02:23that is said to be a big help to avoid mosquitoes.
02:25Wearing long-sleeved shirts, pajamas or jogging pants is also a protection,
02:30especially for children.
02:31Even planting citronella, a natural pesticide, in the grass.
