Chikungunya is a viral disease transmitted to humans through the bite of infected Aedes mosquitoes, particularly Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus. Symptoms typically include high fever, severe joint pain, muscle pain, headache, and rash. While the illness is rarely fatal, it can cause debilitating pain that may last for weeks or even months. Preventing Chikungunya involves reducing mosquito exposure by using insect repellent, wearing long sleeves, and eliminating standing water where mosquitoes breed. There is currently no specific treatment for the disease, so managing symptoms with rest, hydration, and pain relievers is essential for recovery.
