Chickunguniya is not such a deadly disease, it is just fever that makes you weak. It caused great havoc in Southern India last year because it caused quite a lot of deaths. It was mainly because all the elder people who were affected got too weak and finally gave up.

So basically the symptom is body pain, high fever. Just keep your surroundings clean from mosquitoes. They are the culprit behind it.

The only way to avoid the pain and sufferings of chikunguniya is to prevent breeding of mosquitoes nearby your house.

Try to keep your surroundings clean and make sure there is no sources for stangnant water nearby.

If possible use any mosquito repellant.

Another option is to make use of the newly introduced mosquito bat which can be used to get rid of them.
