00:00Due to the widespread flooding like the Christine storm, residents were not able to avoid drowning.
00:06That's why the Department of Health is alerted to the possibility of the increase of cases of leptospirosis.
00:11We have first news from Jonathan Andal.
00:15But here in Villa Florida, it's a different kind of flood that we've experienced.
00:20The hearts of those who live here turn white.
00:24It's hard to imagine what the white flood is in this viral video in Pila, Laguna in the aftermath of the Christine storm.
00:31According to the woman in the video, this is because of the spilled paint.
00:36Of course, when the water is high, the tendency is for the paint to rise. So it was spilled.
00:44They said that there was no sign of skin disease in the white flood.
00:48Alan, the owner of Kamarinasur, is already suffering from leptospirosis because of the flood.
00:53What did he say was against it?
00:55Used oil or grease?
00:57Use oil, grease, you can put it here in the coolers of the water.
01:07But the DOH said that if you have leptospirosis, you should consult a doctor to prescribe an antifungal medicine.
01:13We should follow the prescription because fungus is a long-term medicine.
01:18But the death of leptospirosis was more under control.
01:22During the Christine storm, the case increased and the dialysis was needed.
01:27Even if it didn't flow into the river, it could be infected if it was touched by a stick or a broom.
01:33The leptospira, even if the soil is dry, even if it's muddy, it's still there.
01:38Even if there are no symptoms, it's better to still consult a doctor.
01:42Symptoms include yellowish eyes or a different color of the teeth.
01:47The gums are hard or painful, especially in the calf muscles.
01:53These are advanced stages where the teeth are gone.
01:56This is the first news.
