- CHIKUNGUNYA 🦟
The mosquito disease known for severe joint pain
Chikungunya is caused by the chikungunya virus, mainly transmitted by infected Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes.
It commonly causes sudden fever and severe joint pain, which can sometimes persist for weeks or even months.
There is no specific antiviral treatment for chikungunya.
Holistic support: Rest, adequate fluids, nutritious meals, and gentle movement as tolerated can support recovery. Medical assessment is important because chikungunya can resemble dengue and other infections.
Prevention: Avoid mosquito bites, use repellents, wear long clothing, use screens, and remove standing water around your home.
If the fever comes with intense joint pain, don’t simply assume it’s malaria.
