In India, summer is not just a season of heat but also a time when various viral infections surge. According to Dr. Monica Mahajan, Principal Director at Max Super Speciality Hospital in New Delhi, factors like high humidity, crowded transport, and travel contribute to the spread of illnesses such as dengue, chikungunya, and viral conjunctivitis. Environmental conditions favor the proliferation of viruses, particularly enteroviruses, which thrive in warmer temperatures. The World Health Organization highlights that respiratory viruses spread more easily in poorly ventilated settings, making travel a significant risk factor. Additionally, food and water-borne infections, such as hepatitis A and E, become more prevalent due to improper food handling and sanitation during the summer months. Experts advise maintaining hygiene, avoiding unsafe food, and controlling mosquito breeding to mitigate these risks. Vaccination against flu, hepatitis, and typhoid is also recommended to protect against seasonal illnesses. Overall, while summer brings joy, it also necessitates vigilance against viral infections.
