" WITH the onset of the rainy season, expect a rise in cases of diarrhea and dengue.
The Cebu City Health Department advised the public to take precautions.
Diarrhea can spread easily through contaminated food and water, said Cebu City Asst. epidemologist Durinda Macasucol.
She warned people to be careful about buying street food to avoid contracting Hepatitis A.
Keep surroundings clean and store water in safe containers to avoid stagnant water that provide breeding grounds for mosquitoes, she said.
Macasucol likewise warned residents to stay away from flooded areas due to the presence of rodents waste which causes leptopirosis.
The health department already recorded 1,080 diarrhea cases in the past six months, about 200 cases more than the same period last year.
Dengue ranks second in the number of cases but ranks as the most serious health risk."
