This rainy season, many areas are facing severe flooding. Roads have turned into waterlogged pools, making life difficult and increasing the risk of various diseases. According to the Meteorological Department, heavy rain is expected across 80% of the country, especially in the upper regions of Thailand. The Northeast is the hardest hit, experiencing thunderstorms, strong winds, and flash floods. In the South, the sea has waves exceeding 2 meters in height.

But did you know that the danger of the rainy season is bacteria? Bacteria thrive in wet and humid conditions, with warm temperatures, heavy rain, standing water, and overflowing garbage. These create ideal breeding grounds for bacteria, which can lead to various diseases such as:
