Monsoon is here and it usually keeps most people under the weather. With the Coronavirus pandemic raging at present, the situation is even harder. Certain common symptoms have made the condition worst with people getting confused between whether they have contracted Covid-19 or are suffering from other vector-borne and water-borne monsoon special ailments. Monsoons generally are the most fertile breeding season for harmful viruses, bacteria and other microorganisms. Thus, the risk of getting exposed to multiple viruses, bacteria and other infections is way more during the monsoons than any other season. Here is all about the most common monsoon diseases, the signs one must watch out for and the preventive measures that can help one keep these ailments at bay while tackling a pandemic. Common monsoon diseases one must be aware of During monsoons, the most common diseases have four mediums of transmission including mosquitoes, water, air and contaminated food. The mosquito-borne ailments like Malaria, Chikungunya and Malaria are the most prevailing conditions of the Monsoons. Frequently occurring water-borne diseases include Typhoid, Cholera, Leptospirosis, Jaundice, Gastro-intestinal infections and Hepatitis A. Monsoon also bring in a large number of air-borne infections that are spread through pathogens or disease-causing viruses like cold and flu and Influenza. Interestingly, most of these diseases share some of the common symptoms with Coronavirus which is why it is essential for one to be able to differentiate between the signs and take appropriate measures to stay fit during the Monsoons amid Coronavirus.
Mosquito-borne diseases Mosquito-borne diseases are the most common ailments of the Monsoon. Malaria happens to be one of the major health concerns in India. It is caused by a single-celled parasite, Plasmodium and is hosted by the mosquito Anopheles minimus. This ailment is accompanied by high fever up to 105 degrees for several days. Caused by Aedes Aegypti mosquito that breeds in stagnant water, the incubation period of Dengue is four to seven days after being bitten. The first symptoms of Dengue fever include fever and fatigue. Chikungunya is caused by Aedes albopictus mosquito and presents distinct arthritis symptoms like pain in the joints and bones and stiffness. High fever, chills and body aches are common symptoms of all three.
Steps to prevent mosquito-borne diseases
Make use of mosquito nets at home.
Do not allow water to stagnate or collect anywhere in and around the house.
Maintain adequate bathroom hygiene and keep it clean.
Make use of mosquito repellants/creams when you step out of the house.
Water-borne diseases Water-borne diseases generally show up during the Monsoons affecting the children mostly. Caused by S. Typhi bacteria, Typhoid gets transmitted due to poor sanitation. Uncovered or spoilt food and drinking contaminated water are mostly responsible for Typhoid. Fever, headache, joint pain and sore throat are its common signs. Cholera too is caused due to poor sanitisation and having contaminated food and is accompanied by diarrhoea or loose motions. Leptospirosis, also called Weil's Syndrome occurs when one comes in contact with dirty water or muck or mud water. It can be contracted through bruises, cuts, open wounds. Shivers, muscle pain, and headaches are general signs of Leptospirosis. Like Cholera and Typhoid, Jaundice too is caused due to poor sanitisation or consuming contaminated food and water. Jaundice results in liver dysfunction and the symptoms include weakness, fatigue, yellow urine, yellowing of eyes and vomiting. Gastrointestinal infections include vomiting, diarrhoea and gastroenteritis. Having stale, uncovered, or contaminated food and water cause such infections. Hepatitis A is another common viral infection of the Monsoons that gets transmitted through contaminated food and water. It inflames and damages the liver and has symptoms like fatigue, fever, tenderness in the stomach, yellow eyes, dark-coloured urine and sudden loss of appetite.
Steps of prevention
Boil water and thoroughly wash fruits and vegetables before consumption.
Keep food covered and do not eat food from outside.
Maintain personal hygiene all the time. Wash your hands or use a hand sanitiser.
Get your children vaccinated if they are not already.
Air-borne diseases Air-borne diseases spread through pathogens in the air causing common flu, viral fever, cold, cough and sore throat, mostly affecting senior citizens and children and those with weaker immunity. Cold and flu are the most common viral infection that occurs due to sudden temperature fluctuation during monsoon. It is accompanied by a runny nose, watery eyes, fever, chills and sore throat. Influenza is another common Monsoon disease, also known as seasonal flu. It is easily contracted and can be transmitted through the air.
Steps to prevent air-borne diseases
Cover mouth and nose while coughing and sneezing
Take warm water every few hours and carry a bottle of warm water in case you have to step out.
Maintain distance from those who are already infected and wash hands and feet when you step inside.
Live in well-ventilated homes.
Some tips from the doctor's desk to have healthy Monsoon
Be hydrated all the times, drink only boiled water and do not drink anything from outside
Maintain strict personal hygiene to avoid fungal infection
Wear full-sleeved and light clothes
Focus on having a diet enhancing immunity
Eat freshly washed, boiled vegetables, try to stay away from fats, oils and sodium and limit dairy intake.
During festivals, it is a common trend to enjoy street food. One can indulge in festive delicacies, but you should also be cautious about health. As, there are many food and water-borne diseases which spread through unhygienic practices. They affect the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) and liver. GIT disorders are predominantly bacterial and liver diseases are commonly due to viruses.
Symptoms of GIT infections:
Mild symptoms are common, which may stop spontaneously. However, severe symptoms are observed in Children and Old people.
Liver Diseases:

The origin of the virus is unknown but fruit bats (Pteropodidae) are considered the likely host of the Ebola virus, based on available evidence.
EVD – Ebola Virus Disease has come into the human body through close contact with the bodily fluids of infected animals such as their blood, secretions or organs. It was reported and documented in Africa while handling of infected chimpanzees, gorillas, fruit bats, monkeys, forest antelope and porcupines found ill or dead in the rainforest. Similarly human to human transmission of the Ebola Virus can only happen through direct or indirect contact with blood and body fluids.
What are the symptoms?
Initial Symptoms
Fever
Intense Weakness
Muscle Pain
Headache
Sore Throat
Followed by:
Vomiting
Diarrhoea
Rash
Impaired kidney & liver function
Some cases – both internal & external bleeding
Lab test results showing low white blood cell, platelet counts and elevated liver enzymes also indicate the virus infection. The incubation period is from 2 to 12 days of time interval from symptoms to infection. It only become contagious once the suspected patient starts showing up the symptoms. EVD can only be confirmed through lab testing.
How can it be prevented?
Only cure or treatment available as of today is to have more and more awareness about the Ebola Virus Disease. Some of the preventive measures that you should aware of are:
Understand the symptoms, transmission and how to prevent it from spreading further
Follow and understand the directives issued by your country’s respective Ministry of Health
Support and guide EVD suspected people in your society or community to seek appropriate medical treatment in nearby healthcare facility
Wash your hands with hand sanitizer or soap after visiting or touching a patient in the hospital or caring for someone at home
People who have died from Ebola should only be handled using appropriate protective equipment and should be buried immediately by public health professionals who are trained in safe burial procedures
You should avoid any sort of contact with high-risk infected animals specifically in the affected areas
Animal products (meat) should be thoroughly cooked before eating
WHO strongly recommends that people seek credible health advice about Ebola virus disease from their public health authority
While traveling be careful and take necessary precautions to safeguard yourself from any sort of infection
Is there any Treatment available?
There’s no specific treatment or medicine available to cure the disease. All the infected people requires intensive supportive care.
They are frequently dehydrated and need intravenous fluids or oral rehydration with solutions that contain electrolytes.
To help control further spread of the virus, people that are suspected or confirmed to have the disease should be isolated from other patients and treated by health workers using strict infection control precautions. Some patients will recover with the appropriate medical care.
Is it safe to travel during this EVD outbreak?
While travellers should always be vigilant with regard to their health and those around them, the risk of infection for travellers is very low since person-to-person transmission results from direct contact with the body fluids or secretions of an infected patient.
WHO’s general travel advice:
Travelers should avoid all contact with infected patients.
Health workers traveling to affected areas should strictly follow WHO-recommended infection control guidance.
Anyone who has stayed in areas where cases were recently reported should be aware of the symptoms of infection and seek medical attention at the first sign of illness.
Clinicians caring for travelers returning from affected areas with compatible symptoms are advised to consider the possibility of Ebola virus disease.

Can we imagine a life without computers? Electronic s and computers have percolated into our life at an alarming pace and magnitude. This has occurred at a scale to make me wonder if typing skills in my children are at par, if not more significant than handwriting skills. Needless to say many of us spend hours in form of a computer at work and top it up with a few more hours in front of Mr. Computer at home. As a pain physician involved in helping desperate patients with persistent pain, I see an epidemic of occupational hazards.
“@your Desk to work can be injurious to health” is not a tagline I would associate with undertaking a routine relaxing job on a posh comfy expensive chair. The sound of it resonates with health hazards of smoking. The sheer volume of time spend in front of Mr. Computer in its many forms , small and big, is making a generation regress back to the dark ages …really?
Musculoskeletal disorders due to sustained unhygienic postures is creating epidemic of health problems centered mostly around the neck, shoulders, arms and upper back. You could argue, I don’t think our ancestors with similar postures suffered with health problems. Well…… probably not since they were not ashamed and frequently to ambulate on all fours (limbs).
We have to take charge and modify our workplace, accommodate our schedules to reduce the impact of our activities on our health. I draw inspiration from the “Microsoft Healthy computing Guide” to suggest modifications in our work / leisure related Mr. Computer activities to ensure we continue to benefit with the marvels of the rapidly developing / evolving world we live in. We should aspire to be comfortable and productive with Mr. Computer.
This guide is designed for anybody spending more than 2 hours with Mr. Computer. This is relevant and probably equally important even if you are fortunate enough to have had no aches and pain in top half of your body. The commonly issues are occasional discomfort in hands, arms, shoulders, neck, upper back and even headaches. Any persistent aches, tingling numbness, burning / shooting pains in your arms / fingers warrant an assessment by a qualified doctor. The suggestions / advice below are generic and applicable across a wide spectrum of people. However, I recommend an individual detailed assessment, if you continue to experience ongoing discomfort. If you have access to an occupational therapist / physician professional guidance to arrange tour workstation will be beneficial.
Tip 1: Position Yourself
Avoid sustained postures for extended periods of time with any activity to avoid discomfort, fatigue and pain. Workstation redesign is essential to avoid unhygienic and awkward sustained postures. The workstation should promote and maintain a comfortable relaxed posture.
To support your back, try the following:
Use a chair that supports your lower back preventing arching with convexity pointing behind you. (See detail 1).
Adjust your work surface and chair height to assume a comfortable and natural body posture (see detail 2).
To promote comfortable leg postures, try the following:
Clear away items from beneath your desk to allow comfortable leg positioning and movement.
The height of seating should ensure a rested foot on the floor and horizontal thighs on the seat.
Tip 2 - For a comfortable shoulder and arm postures:
Place your keyboard and mouse or trackball at about elbow level. Your upper arms should fall relaxed at your sides (see detail 3).
Centre your keyboard in front of you located close to it (see detail 4).
Place frequently used items comfortably within arm's reach (see detail 5).
Tip 3 - For comfortable wrist and finger postures:
Keep your wrists straight while typing or mouse navigation. Avoid bending your wrists up, down or to the sides.
Tip 4 - For Comfortable neck posture:
The top of the screen should be positioned at your eye level. If using bifocal glasses, it may be useful to lower the screen.
Centre your monitor or document holder in front of you depending on what you refer to most often.
Consider using a document holder to position your documents near eye level.
Tip 5 - To reduce eye strain:
Position your monitor an arm's length away from you when seated comfortably in front of it.
Place monitor away from sources of glare.
Maintain a clean screen and glasses if you wear some.
Optimize the monitor's brightness and contrast, along with a good font size.
Tip 6 – Avoid repetitive strain injuries – Be gentle to yourself
Repeated monotonous work maneuvers, or sustained pressure / impact on body parts can result in body injuries. Common examples include pressing the keys while typing, clicking the mouse buttons, holding your mouse or cradling the phone and resting your wrists on the edge of your desk. You can dampen the effect of these.
Be gentle to yourself - Type with relaxed hands and fingers ensuring a light touch that is sufficient to activate the keyboard keys, clicking a mouse button, when using a joystick or other gaming controller.
Try maintaining a floating wrist and hands (see detail 7). The palm rest, if provided, should only be used during breaks from typing.
Relax your arms and hands when you are not typing or using your mouse. Avoid resting hands on furniture edges.
Adjust your chair so the seat does not press into the back of your knees (see detail 8).
Tip 7 - Take Breaks
In a supercharged workplace taking breaks may not be feasible. You can certainly take a break from repetitive task and resort to change in activity. Take a walk out supervising juniors. Stretch yourself during a telephonic conversation. These breaks can be tailored to you and your work place.
Tip 8 – Balance between work and play to limit strain on same body part:
Organize your diary to have a good admixture of activities that do not strain the same body part for extended periods of time.
Utilize the different Mr. Computer input devices to accomplish the same task. E.g. scrolling with move wheel versus arrow keys.
Understand feature in Mr. Computer to work efficiently. E.g. Ctrl C instead of mouse right click copy.
Eat a balanced diet and get adequate rest.
Regular exercise for overall fitness and to improve the strength and flexibility of your body.
Manage stress of and home by good scheduling and time management.
Tip 9 – A healthy body and mind
A healthy peaceful mind ensures productivity and higher tolerance for repetitive tasks. A tensed, stressed mind tightens / strains the muscles in your upper back and neck limiting the tolerance of MR. Computer related activities.
Maintain good health by:
To conclude:
I wish you a healthy, productive, efficient, happy relationship with Mr, Computer who is likely to encroach into all domains of our lives. We wish you a happy computing experience, and don’t forget to look after yourself.
If you are concerned about any aspect of your health at work or home, please speak to a qualified professional. He may be able to guide to with possible contributing factors along with customized solutions for your problems. You can access further resources to help yourself from the “Healthy Computing Guide” on the Microsoft website.
