The idea of enjoying a rainy afternoon from the comfort of our homes with our favorite snacks sounds alluring. But remember that although it brings relief from the heat, the Indian monsoon brings with it a host of ailments and diseases, some of which may even be life-threatening. Rain water accumulated in stagnant pools along with the dampness and dirt serves as the ideal breeding ground for a variety of disease-causing microbes. Hence, to lead a healthy and disease-free life, it is important to know more about these common monsoon illnesses and how to treat them. (Images courtesy: © Thinkstock photos/ Getty Images)
