I play different roles in my kids’ lives - supermom, friend, nurse, chef, shield, and many more. In every situation, I ensure that I am flexible and strong enough to fulfill my duties. That’s why, when it comes to protecting them, I always make myself informed on brands and products that will serve as my partners in taking good care of them.
This rainy season, we all know what’s in. DENGUE.
Sometimes we think that we already know everything being over protective and all, until very bad things happen. A few years ago, I had a terrible experience with this dreaded viral illness. My son, Niko, was diagnosed with dengue fever, and it scared the hell out of me. It was like a nightmare seeing your child suffer and go through tests and a lot of hospital visits. His blood count needed to be monitored, thus a series of CBC and Dengue Duo tests was performed. It was a traumatic experience for me and my child.
Dengue fever is a viral illness spread by the dengue mosquito (Aedes Aegypti), which can be found in many tropical countries around the world such as ours. It has been one of the major problems globally. Symptoms like high fever, headache, vomiting, joint pains and skin rashes are not immediately visible or observed until three to fourteen days of infection. If not addressed right away, it can develop to severe dengue hemorrhagic, which is life-threatening.
Moms, let’s not wait for this to happen. It was like a wakeup call for me, especially when it occurred twice the same year. I realized that it was not enough to memorize the statistics and facts about dengue. Yes, it is helpful to be mindful about symptoms but it more important to take precautionary measures.
Currently, there’s no cure for dengue. Prevention includes keeping the surroundings clean, getting rid of mosquito habitats, and wearing something that covers much of the body. Having said that, I am so grateful that OFF! Insect Repellent Lotion offers protection against dengue carrying mosquitoes. It is one of the world’s pioneer insect repellent brand since 1957. Definitely, The trusted brand. I can only imagine the number of children and adults it has saved from dengue for the last 59 years!
I see to it that my kids always apply OFF! Insect Repellent Lotion as it gives me peace of mind when they play outside or when they’re at school. After all, I can’t be with them 24x7. Do not wait until your child catches the virus. You have to be two steps ahead of the situation all time. We will never know when and where it could happen. And worst, it could be fatal. Keep your loved ones safe with OFF! Insect Repellent Lotion.
