It provides a welcome break from the scorching summer heat and plays a crucial role in supporting agriculture. However, despite its many benefits, the rainy season also brings several health challenges.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"415\" data-end=\"769\">The monsoon is a peak time for the spread of <strong data-start=\"460\" data-end=\"502\">waterborne and mosquito-borne diseases<\/strong>. While we often focus on the beauty and benefits of the rains, it\u2019s equally important to be aware of the illnesses that can affect you and your family during this season.
