Dengue Survival Kit

• For context, the following is a literature review on potential items to include in a low-cost dengue-survival kit which contains repellents for users that could easily and quickly be distributed to users. Although this may not eradicate dengue, it could help decrease the amount of people infected with dengue in a small area and then later be used/built-upon to help decrease the number of infected in the whole of Yemen.
• According to an Australian article posted on The Conversation, on November 15, 2015, mosquito repellents which are plant-based are generally effective however they have to be reapplied more frequently which is a draw-back in comparison to topical insect repellents which have DEET or picaridin as they do not need to be reapplied as often.

Mosquito Bracelets: Cons and Pros

• Mosquito bracelets could be a component of the kits however there are a few drawbacks:
  • Wrist-band bracelets do not provide whole body protection.
  • In addition it may only provide a few centimeters to either side of the band in regard to protection.

Some of the Best Ways Currently:

As shown by above, it is a little bit hard to find a way to create a dengue box with things that are of low-cost and will be able to help people avoid being bitten by mosquitoes. Some of the best ways that we could help them is either make an educational mosquito kit or make some types of clothing garb and repellent thing or make some type of screens for windows and doors so that holes can be repaired and can stop mosquitoes from coming in.
