#UandMeAgainstDengue - An Initiative by Mortein NaturGard

What is Dengue?
Dengue (pronounced den' gee) is a mosquito-borne viral infection causing a severe flu-like illness and, sometimes causing a potentially lethal complication called severe dengue. The viruses are transmitted to humans by the bite of an infected mosquito (Aedes aegypti). The Aedes aegypti mosquito is the vector of dengue/DHF. It is estimated that there are over 400 million cases of Dengue worldwide now estimated to occur annually in over 100 endemic countries, putting almost half of the world’s population at risk*.

 To get to the heart of the problem, Mortein has also taken the fight to educate school kids about Dengue. Mortein is undertaking activities in 160 schools and 120 RWAs across 6 cities in India.
Well, I was fortunate to be a part of the New Delhi event. It is an initiative to help educate you and me about Dengue and eradicate this problem, once and for all with little help from you and me. Dengue is back on the rise in India and we need to eradicate this deadly disease for good.

  • Mortein has also tied-up with Thyrocare to offer heavy discount for Dengue pre-hospitalisation.
  • All the on-ground activities are supported by digital platform on social media, interactive website, etc.

Here's a Glimpse of the New Delhi event which was supported by NDMC and AIIMS on 11th March, 2014

Share The Load

Time of crisis brings out our inner capabilities and strength that we were not aware of. This is the time to push our limits and to try something new which will change us for the good. I always concentrated to earn bread and butter for the family but helping my wife in this time by sharing the laundry is really fun.   Taking part in household chores made me realise that I can balance my professional and personal life in a way that I am too amazed by. I realised that I am most comfortable when I come out of my comfort zone and try something as unique as doing the laundry. To start is the most beautiful experience that leads to completion of household chores making me feel satisfied.   I am the happiest person on earth sharing the load with my wife.
