3 Tips To Avoid Getting Sick In This Monsoon If You Get Drenched

July, the month of monsoon is here. While some people love the season of monsoon others don’t. Getting drenched in the rain is not enjoyed much by a lot of people, especially when the roads get filled with water due to overnight rain. Even during the lockdown, people are going out for several reasons. Most offices and other workplaces have opened up too. So, it won’t be easy to save yourself from the rain even in this pandemic. Getting sick is not acceptable right now at all and getting wet can lead to infections, stomach disorders, typhoid, malaria, dengue, cold, flu, etc.

Also, due to the waterlogging there is a strong chance of water getting infected that is stored inside your domestic water storage tanks. If the tanks are not sealed properly using an airtight lid, there remains a strong chance that the rainwater can enter the tanks and infect the water with outside dust, dirt, other unwanted objects and insects. This is why using the best quality domestic water storage tank that has airtight threaded lids is always recommended. It is the first to step to keep yourself healthy in rain. Here are some other tips that you should follow if you do get drenched in the rain.

Remove Wet Clothes Immediately After Coming Home

As soon as you get home or your destination, remove the wet clothes immediately. It is always a good idea to keep an extra set of clothes with you in the monsoon if you are going somewhere other than your home. Wearing wet clothes and drying them naturally can lead to immediate cold and flu and in this pandemic, it is best to stay away from those.

Bathe Twice Daily Using Warm Water

It is best to take a bath with warm freshwater from your domestic water storage tanks as soon as you get home. It is advised by doctors to take bath twice a day with lukewarm water during the monsoon season whether you get drenched or not. It will keep any kind of infection at bay.

Wash The Feet And Hand

This is something you are doing anyway right now whenever you are on the move. To avoid infection from COVID-19, people have become too concerned with sanitisation and carry at least one hand sanitizer with them. But your feet should also be scrubbed with warm water and salt to prevent any infection, especially if you have walked in a waterlogged area. It is also advised to wear long boots during this season to cover your feet.

So, follow these tips to keep yourself safe in the rain and use only safe and clean water from your domestic water storage tank.

This water can be used for washing and gardening purposes easily. This method helps in saving energy and a win-win situation for the environment and the economy.

Rainwater Tarp

The rainwater tarp is one of the simplest methods to collect rainwater. A tarp, PVC pipe, and a container or a barrel are required. Check the elevation to make this method work.

Plastic-Lined Pond

A manmade pond can be created in the garden area that should be connected via the gutters and pipes to an elevated structure. First, a pond needs to be constructed that should be at least five feet deep. Then a plastic pond liner can be used over the hole to collect rainwater.

Other Unconventional Methods

There are other unconventional methods by creating or using some old objects at home to make rainwater saving easy and effective for future use. Some of the best examples include watering cans, large drums or pots, old plastic water tanks that are currently not in use, etc. Water stored here can be used for many miscellaneous purposes such as washing the outside of the house, ashing the car or garage, watering the plants, etc.
