“Bantayi ang imong lawas! Leptospirosis can be deadly, know the warning signs and seek medical help right away. 🚨🦠”
📢
Leptospirosis is a serious bacterial infection usually spread through floodwater or soil contaminated with urine from infected animals, especially rodents.
During rainy seasons and after flooding, the risk of infection becomes much higher.
Common Symptoms Include:
• Hilanat (Fever)
• Labad sa ulo (Headache)
• Pamaol (Muscle aches/pain)
• Pagdalg sa panit (Yellowish skin)
• Pagsuka (Nausea/Vomiting)
• Pagpula sa mata (Red eyes)
• Sakit sa tiyan (Abdominal pain)
• Kalibanga (Diarrhea)
These symptoms often appear 2–14 days after exposure. Some cases can worsen quickly and lead to kidney failure, liver damage, or internal bleeding, which can be life-threatening.
🚨 When to See a Doctor:
If you have any of these symptoms, especially after stepping in floodwater, seek medical care immediately. Early treatment with antibiotics can prevent severe complications.
✔️ Prevention:
• Avoid wading in floodwater whenever possible.
• Wear boots, gloves, or protective gear when exposure is unavoidable.
• Keep your surroundings clean to discourage rodents.
• Wash your feet and legs thoroughly after contact with dirty water.
Protect yourself and your family, early action saves lives.
