Nile virus/ What are the symptoms and how to protect ourselves

Nile virus is mainly transmitted by the bite of infected mosquitoes. This disease can be prevented with measures known to protect against mosquitoes.

It is recommended to observe personal protection measures against mosquitoes during the entire period of circulation of insects.

Try to use insect repellents approved for the body and the environment (according to the instructions for use), as well as mosquito nets, air conditioners/fans.

Fresh air reduces the activity of mosquitoes and makes it difficult for them to approach.

– Wear appropriate (long) clothes that cover as much body surface as possible. Light colored and loose clothes are more suitable.

– Water – preferably – in the morning, to reduce your exposure to mosquitoes while watering.

– Make sure there is no standing water in any part of the house to limit mosquito breeding sites.

Especially the elderly, people with immunosuppression and people with underlying chronic diseases must strictly implement mosquito protection measures, as they endanger the most seriously ill.

If you are bitten by an infected mosquito, it generally takes 2 to 14 days for symptoms such as fever, weakness, headache, joint and muscle pain, flu-like or gastrointestinal symptoms to appear. However, less than 1% develop the severe form of the disease.
