Dhangadhi Faces Nairobi Bug Infestation: Surge in Skin-Related Hospital Visits

Dhangadhi - The city of Dhangadhi is grappling with an infestation of Nairobi bugs, leading to a significant increase in hospital visits by patients suffering from insect-related skin issues.

Both public and private hospitals have reported a daily influx of patients presenting with blisters and boils caused by these insects. According to local doctors, the insects release chemicals upon contact with human skin, resulting in various dermatological problems.

To combat this issue, medical professionals have issued several recommendations for the public. Residents are advised to avoid direct contact with the insects. Measures to minimize exposure include wearing long-sleeved shirts and pants, using hammocks, and ensuring that windows and doors are closed to prevent the insects from entering homes.

Maintaining a clean environment is also emphasized as a key preventive strategy. For those who do come into contact with the insects, immediate washing of the affected skin area is recommended, followed by the application of appropriate medication as prescribed by a healthcare provider.

As Dhangadhi continues to address this infestation, public health officials are urging everyone to take the necessary precautions to protect themselves from these harmful insects.
