DDC warns of Melioidosis
The Department of Disease Control (DDC) issued a warning about Melioidosis, urging farmers and diabetes patients to avoid direct contact with soil or stagnant water, as the *Burkholderia pseudomallei* bacterium can enter the body through skin wounds.
With 3,102 cases and 136 deaths reported this year (up to October 27), the DDC emphasizes prevention through well-cooked food, boiled water, and good personal hygiene, especially for high-risk groups like those over 60.
