Waded in Floodwaters? Act Fast to Prevent Leptospirosis! 🚨
Follow this PIDSP guide for immediate post-exposure protection:
🥾 PROTECT: Avoid floodwaters or wear protective boots and gloves if exposure is unavoidable.
💊 PREVENT: Consult a doctor to start post-exposure antibiotics (like Doxycycline) within 24–72 hours.
💧 PURIFY: Protect food from pests and boil drinking water for 10–15 minutes.
⚠️ Prophylaxis reduces risk but isn't 100% guarantee—always monitor for fever or symptoms after exposure.
