Question

Chicken gunia _

Answer 1

Chikungunya is a virus spread by mosquitoes. It is not normally a serious health issue as it last only 3-7 days. The best prevention is to keep the immune system healthy and taking proper precautions to avoid infection. There are several things one can do to prevent bites from mosquitoes and there are ways to relieve body aches and deydration that might come if infected.

The symptoms of chikungunya include fever which can reach 39°C, (102.2 °F) a petechial or maculopapular rash usually involving the limbs and trunk, and arthralgia or arthritis affecting multiple joints which can be debilitating. There can also be headache, conjunctival injection and slight photophobia.

The mosquito species that transmits the Chikungunya virus is the Aedes albopictus, commonly known as the Asian tiger mosquito or forest mosquito. There being no vaccine or preventive drug for chikungunya at present, the best way to avoid the infection is to control the mosquito population in the region and prevent mosquito bites.

Last year, several members of the Iowa State University Department of Entomology presented the results of a study on common catnip. Among their conclusions was the fact that an essential oil in catnip is 10 times more effective at repelling mosquitoes than potent chemicals such as DEET.

There are many ways to cure and prevent chikungunya. It takes being conscious of what is causing the problem, eliminating risks, and watching one's diet and hygiene;

*Eat a healthy diet with mostly raw vegetables and most fruits

*Avoid bannanas, chocolates, yogurt as they attract mosquitoes

*Wear long pants and socks with closed shoes during mosquito season

* Vitamin B Complex will help prevent bites

* Avoid dairy as dairy plugs up the elimination system

* Bathe with unscented soap and shampoo to avoid attracting mosquitoes

* Avoid wheat products if the virus infection is coming on

*Use catnip, rosemary, and neem oil to spray on exposed areas of skin (I would add lavender for aroma improvement)
*Make a bath with the above essential oils

*Avoid going out of doors during the greatest risk times at dusk and dawn, or at least cover the legs, arms, and feet during the early moring and evening

*Avoid sugary drinks and alcohol

*Eliminate standing water in your area(put a few drops of neem oil or catnip oil in pools of water to prevent eggs from hatching)

*Eliminating table salt and adding sea salt to salt foods will mineralize the body and improve toxin elimination threrefore improvie the immune response

*Drinking 6-8 glasses of clean water every day will clear the elimination system and help prevent or eliminate the virus more efficiently if infected

* I would also add one drop of wild oregano oil to a shot glass of carrot juice or some other strong juice if I was fully infected,

*Amp up on Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and try Golden Seal if infected

*Drink green tea for relief

*I would also drink unsweetened fruit juice or vegetable juice with
a teaspoon of raw apple cider vinegar with a dash of cayenne, turmeric, and cinamon to provide good flora and PH balance to speed up recovery.

*MSM or Glucosamine are supplements that could help with body aches.

*If you have access to the herb Boneset herb also called comfrey, knitbone, Snake Root, and blackwort, it is a very good anti-inflamatory and excellent for body aches

*One study found that tannic acid from nutgall apparantly binds to Chikungunya and inhibits the virus. Sources of Tannic Acid: Nutgall, Tea, Nettle, Wood, Berries, Chinese galls. Oak wood is very rich in tannic acid. Oak leaves were also mentioned. Take an iron supplement if using foods with high amounts of tannic acid.

Answer 2

Thirty two years after its last outbreak in India, chikungunya is back. A relatively rare viral fever with dengue-like symptoms, chikungunya has been sweeping Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Maharashtra.
In the last three months, the official count of the affected has climbed to a staggering 1.5 lakh people and Health officials concede that figures on the ground may be higher.
Caused by an alphavirus spread through bites from the Aedes Aegypti mosquito - the same mosquito behind dengue - chikungunya is not considered fatal. But 77 deaths since 2005 on the Indian Ocean island of Reunion have been linked to chikungunya.
Health officials in Delhi said the last outbreak in the country was reported in 1974. "The virus must have been silent but it has made a comeback," said an official. Chikungunya, which has dengue-like symptoms of very high fever and rash, is highly contagious and disabling. The name itself is Swahili for "that which bends up", a reference to the positions those afflicted are forced to take because of pain in the joints.
In recent months, chikungunya has been striking the Indian Ocean region. Its outbreak has been reported from Mayotte, Mauritius and Seychelles. Countries like France, Germany, Italy, Norway and Switzerland have reported importing cases, courtesy people returning from these islands.
A mixed outbreak of chikungunya with dengue was reported from Andhra Pradesh between December 2005 and February 2006. The virus was isolated by Pune's National Institute of Virology in March but the figures have been rising ever since.
Latest figures show over 30,000 cases in Andhra (Tirupati is the worst hit); over 70,000 in Karnataka (17,000 cases in Gulbarga alone); and, now it has struck Maharashtra with Malegaon, Nashik, Jalgaon reporting many cases.
Health officials said mosquito-control is the only way to fight chikungunya. Health Ministry teams have already been sent to the states and the National Institute of Communicable Diseases is monitoring the situation.
While supportive, palliative medical care with anti-inflammatories and analgesics is available, there is no specific treatment for chikungunya. It is usually self-limiting, disappearing with time.
