MoPH advice about the dengue fever

  MoPH said that new and different kinds of mosquitoes have been found in Qatar that might be able to spread the dengue fever virus and told people to be careful.

Dengue fever is a virus that people get from being bitten by a mosquito.


Its name is Aedes Aegypti, and it carries the virus.

not spread from person to person and is not contagious .

From what I've seen over the last 20 years, there aren't many mosquitoes in the city, even when it's not very hot. But there may be more of them than I think in rural places, especially where water doesn't move.

The good news is that even if an infected mosquito bites you, you won't get sick. Most likely, you'll just feel like you have the flu. A lot of people have pain behind their eyes.

However, there is a small group of affected people who get really sick. It can lead to nose, gum, or even internal bleeding, which is much worse.Babies, weak people, and people who already had this fever are at risk.

PINK MONTH IN Qatar - and my memories of fellow women

 

  Breast cancer awarness month in Qatar .  Why is it important to remember about this ? Though breast cancer is not as high in Arabic countries as in the USA - it is still killing women here too . Early detection and treatment can save 80 -90 % of those patients lives .

MY MEMORIES

I remember about 30 years ago my best friend's mom fell with the bike then she felt something painful in her armpit . She went to see the doctor at once and it turned out that it had been breast cancer growing silently for a while . That fall was her luck because it helped the early discovery of the lump . She got the necessary treatments and she has been a survivor for more than 30 years now . Another story back then was the case of a very well educated woman . She was rejected by her husband even before her cancer . He left her for a younger woman . She just loved him too much and wished to gain his love again . When it turned out that she has breast cancer she refused the surgery for fear of losing that man forever .She died soon after and left behind two kids who were brought up by the grandma . Very sad story . But not uncommon that women choose the get no treatment for the fear of loosing a man . Dying rather than living without breast . When common sense does not work .When education does not help . Then there is a dire need of psychologist's help .
