Why Monsoon Increases Health Risks

Monsoon changes the environment in ways that promote the spread of diseases. Stagnant water becomes a breeding ground for mosquitoes, while floodwater contaminates drinking water and food supplies. Rising humidity also encourages fungal infections and respiratory issues. These factors make illnesses like dengue, malaria, and typhoid more common during the rainy season.
