🚨 Warning! "Soil fever" is a heavy epidemic. 23 cases have been extinguished!

Who likes to landscaping, plant trees, or wade through the mud? Be careful! Now that "soil fever" is spreading in Thailand, the latest 2026 data (Jan-Apr) has accumulated over 732 cases, and alarmingly, 23 people have died! 😱

🔍 What's the official name?

The disease is called "Melioidosis," caused by bacteria that live in soil and water, found throughout Thailand, especially the northeast and the south.

⚠️ How dangerous?

The horror is that it "mimics" other diseases very well! Some people think it's just the common flu, but if the infection enters the bloodstream, the death rate is very high and difficult to treat because it's very resistant.

🛡️ Which way to contact?

Wound: Walk barefoot, wade through mud / water, and then infect through the wound (even if the wound is as small as a scratch!)

Breathing: Inhale contaminated soil dust into it.

Eating: Drinking water from unclean natural water sources

🤒 Symptoms to rush to the doctor!

Acute high fever (longer than 2 days)

Body aches, headaches.

Cough, sputum, shortness of breath (resembling pneumonia)

There is pus on the skin.

💡 How to Protect Yourself (Lemon8 Edition)

✅ Put on boots / gloves: Gardening time or wading through the water. Barefoot is absolutely prohibited!

✅ Instant Body Wash: After touching the soil or water, hurry to bleach the soap clean.

✅ Drinking Clean Water: Choose only bottled or boiled water.

✅ Special Beware Risk Groups: People with diabetes, kidney disease, or low immunity are many times more likely to suffer than normal people!

Keep healthy, everyone. Don't underestimate "dirt" because it's more dangerous than you think! 🌿
