Monsoon Season Increases Risk of Water-Borne Diseases in India
The monsoon season in India leads to a rise in water- and food-borne infections due to contamination of drinking water by sewage and pathogens like bacteria, viruses, and parasites. Common illnesses include acute diarrhoea, typhoid, cholera, hepatitis A and E, and leptospirosis. Symptoms of acute diarrhoea include frequent loose stools, abdominal cramps, nausea, vomiting, fever, and dehydration. Preventive measures include drinking boiled or filtered water, practicing good hand hygiene, consuming freshly cooked food, and avoiding unhygienic street food. Vulnerable groups face higher risks of severe complications.
