Why do people fall ill more during monsoon?

Why do people fall ill more during monsoon? This season witnesses more illnesses than any other season because the moisture and humidity in the air is highest during this period. Everything is constantly damp and cold, exactly the kind of climate parasites love. They thrive in this season. At the same time, the high humidity lowers our immunity and hence we contract infections easily. So what can one do to avoid them?

Ø   Follow good hygiene. 

Ø   Drink only boiled or purified water.

Ø   Wash fruits and vegetables thoroughly as they have a lot of dirt and muck sticking to them.

Ø   Avoid eating raw vegetables.

Ø   Eat food when it is freshly cooked and hot as the cooking process kills germs.

Ø   Keep food covered at all times to prevent flies sitting on it.
