🦠 LEPTOSPIROSIS: KEEP YOURSELF SAFE FROM THE HIDDEN DANGER! 🐀🌧️

During rainy days and flooding, the risk of leptospirosis increases. This disease is caused by bacteria (Leptospira) that can spread through water, mud, or food contaminated by the urine of infected animals—especially rats.

⚠️ Protect yourself and your family:
🥾 Wear boots or protective footwear and avoid wading in floodwater whenever possible.
🩹 Cover wounds with clean, waterproof dressings.
🧼 Wash your hands and body with clean water after exposure to floodwater.
💧 Drink only clean and safe water.
🏥 Seek medical attention promptly if you develop symptoms after exposure to floodwater.

Don’t wait for symptoms to worsen. Stay alert, stay protected, and stay safe! 💙

⚡ FIRST AID FOR ELECTRICAL SHOCK ⚡

Accidents involving electricity can happen in an instant—but knowing what to do can help save a life. 💙💛

🚨 Remember these important steps:
1️⃣ Make sure it’s safe – Turn off the main power or unplug the source if possible.
2️⃣ Remove the source safely – If you cannot turn it off, use a dry, non-conductive object such as wood, plastic, or rubber. Never use metal.
3️⃣ Call for help – Call 911 immediately.
4️⃣ Check the victim – Check consciousness and breathing. If the person is not breathing or has no pulse, start CPR if you are trained to do so.
5️⃣ Give basic care – Cool electrical burns with clean, cool running water for at least 20 minutes and cover with a clean, dry cloth.
6️⃣ Do not give food or drink – Reassure the victim and monitor their condition until help arrives.

⚠️ MOST IMPORTANT: Never touch a person who is still in contact with an electrical source. Protect yourself first!

💡 Quick action. Calm mind. You can save a life!

📌 Keep this guide handy and share it with your family, friends and the community!
