Is Leptospirosis preventable?

YES!

The risk of acquiring leptospirosis can be greatly reduced by not swimming or wading in water that might be contaminated with animal urine, or eliminating contact with potentially infected animals.
Always consult a physician before taking any preventive treatment! 😊

LEPTOSPIROSIS IS A PREVENTABLE DISEASE!

Myth #3
Ang Leptospirosis ay nakakamatay agad pag ikaw ay nagkasakit nito.

Ang sakit na Leptospirosis ay may gamot kagaya ng Doxycycline na isang antibiotic. Magpakonsulta kaagad kung nakakaranas ng mga sintomas nito upang maresitahan ng wastong gamot at maiwasan ang mga komplikasyon na dala nito.

Myth #2
Ang Leptospirosis ay nakakahawa

Ang leptospirosis ay naipapasa ng mga apektadong hayop, katulad ng daga, sa tao sa pamamagitan ng mga bitak sa balat, bukas na sugat, o sa mga mucous membranes ng bibig, ilong, at mata. Kapag nalagyan ang sugat ng tubig o lupa na may ihi ng hayop na may dala nito, ito’y maaaring maging sanhi ng leptospirosis.

“If you are wading through floodwaters you have to wear protective gear such as boots and wash your feet thoroughly with soap.”
- Dr Ma. Theresa Bad-ang
Nephrologist and Head of Southern Philippines Medical Center-Human Advocate and Retrieval Effort (SPMC-SHARE)

Ngayong tag-ulan, Leptospirosis ay iwasan!
Lahat po tayo ay mag-ingat.☔️

MYTH #1:
Ang mga daga lang nga ba ang maaaring makapagdala ng Leptosirosis?

Ang Leptospirosis ay sanhi ng bakterya na maaring dalhin ng mga daga at iba pang mga hayop. Kapag naimpeksyon ang mga hayop tulad ng a*o, kabayo at baka, mangyari na wala silang sintimas pero maaari silang maging tagapagdala ng sakit.
