Osan City recently announced that due to climate change, the activity period and habitat of infectious disease vectors such as mosquitoes and ticks have expanded, and it has requested citizens to thoroughly practice preventive measures to protect their health.

Infectious disease vectors refer to mosquitoes, ticks, and chiggers that carry pathogens such as viruses and bacteria and transmit them to humans. Major infectious diseases transmitted by these vectors include ▲ Severe Fever with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome (SFTS) ▲ Tsutsugamushi Disease ▲ Japanese Encephalitis ▲ Malaria, etc., and special caution is required as the risk of infection is high during outdoor activities from April to November.

Accordingly, Osan City asked citizens to practice personal prevention rules in their daily lives, such as ▲wearing long sleeves and pants to minimize skin exposure ▲using mosquito and tick repellent when outdoors ▲refraining from lying on grass or making direct contact ▲taking a shower and washing clothes immediately after returning home ▲visiting a medical institution promptly if symptoms such as high fever, vomiting, or diarrhea occur within 14 days after outdoor activities:

Kim Tae-sook, head of Osan City Health Center, emphasized, “As outdoor activities become more active in the summer, the risk of exposure to vectors such as mosquitoes and ticks increases,” and “It is important to practice repellents and mosquito nets in daily life, and it is most important to visit a medical institution without delay and get tested if you have suspicious symptoms.”
