Dengue transmission and prevention tips
⚠️ Uninfected female mosquito bites a dengue-infected person ➡️ gets infected with the dengue virus ➡️ can transmit dengue to other healthy individuals it bites
🙅♂️ Dengue patients should prevent themselves from getting bitten further
- Spray insecticide around the house
- Apply mosquito repellent regularly
- Wear long-sleeve tops and long pants
🦟 If you live in a dengue cluster area/ area with more Aedes mosquitoes
- Apply mosquito repellent regularly – you have a higher risk of getting bitten and infected
🔎 Check for mosquito breeding habitats in your home at least once a week
- The Aedes mosquito’s life cycle is as short as 7 days
- Checking once is not enough!

Dengue: Tips for using repellent effectively
🧍 To apply on body
- Hold 15-20 cm from skin and spray in a slow, sweeping motion
- Spread evenly on exposed skin
- Spray on clothing to prevent bites through clothing (don’t spray into the air)
👧 To apply on face and neck
- Spray on palm of your hand and spread evenly on your palm
- Pat around face and neck, avoiding eye and mouth areas
- Do not spray or apply to eyes and mouth 🙅🏻♂️
💦 To remove repellent
- Rinse thoroughly to remove repellent residue
❗ Remember to
- Check the label and use according to manufacturer’s instructions
- Test repellent on a small area of the skin first (eg. inside of elbow) to ensure no allergic reactions
- Repellents containing DEET, picaridin, or IR3535 as the active ingredient are the most effective
Apply mosquito repellent regularly, especially if you live in a dengue cluster area, or area with more Aedes Aegypti mosquitoes
