Monsoon brings multiple air-borne infections. These infections are transmitted by tiny diseases causing viruses resulting in flu, viral fever, cold, cough, sore throat, and hair fall too !!! Moreover, during monsoons, the immune system gets weak. This also results in many water-borne diseases. In addition, there are a few seasonal diseases, such as dengue, malaria, cholera, typhoid, and hepatitis A. Hair loss is one of the unaddressed problems when one is affected by any of these seasonal diseases. After COVID-19, the world is slowly returning to normal, and travel has once again become a huge part of our lives.
