And the most common carrier: Rats.

The Department of Disease Control, Ministry of Public Health has warned members of the public who are living in places with high amounts of rain to be wary about Leptospirosis, a bacterial disease that can cause flu-like symptoms, as well as liver or kidney disease. It is highly recommended not to walk through water in the street or to stay in wet areas for a long time. If it is possible, wearing boots will help to prevent the disease.
