The new threat.....

One of my friend in profession sent me an email attaching handouts regarding the threatening disease caused by mosquitoes.

Chikungunya fever cause by mosquitoes that hit Southern Songkhla (Thailand) for weeks now. There are 50,000 infected people all over southern provinces and 15,000 of this came from Songkhla alone.

Latest news is that this virus (different from Dengue) can even cause paralysis.

We are all advised to post this out breaking news in the school premises, in the classroom to take extra precautions even in our own houses.
