Residents of the Saint-Julien district in Saint-Chamond have discovered posters and flyers in their mailbox that can worry. A case of dengue, an infectious disease also called “tropical flu” transmitted by mosquitoes, has been detected in the neighborhood. However, if the tiger mosquito having bitten the sick person were to prick a person from his neighborhood, he could transmit the virus to him.
Also, the Regional Health Agency (ARS) decided to act quickly with an exceptional targeted treatment operation in the places frequented by the sick person in order to avoid any risk of transmission.
Insecticide spraying will thus be carried out by EIRAD (Interdepartmental Entente Rhône-Alpes de Démoustication) this Wednesday, July 2, between 2 and 5 am.
If you have had the leaflet in your mailbox, several instructions are to be observed as a precaution.
Stay at home, closed windows and animals sheltered
During the operation, and thirty minutes after the intervention, you must stay inside you and close the windows. You must also shelter your pets and not let a cloth dry outside.
After spraying, it will be necessary to rinse the garden furniture and children’s games in the water, do not consume the fruits and vegetables in the garden within three days and then rinse them with water before consumption.
In case of abnormal sensations after demoustication, contact your attending physician or the Lyon anti -poison center: 04.72.11.69.11. For more information, appointment on Auvergne-rhone-alpes.ars.sante.fr, keyword: Demoustication
