Hello there.
I can understand your concern.
Killing mosquitoes and not washing hands can make you sick but doesn't give you dengue.
Don't worry about dengue.
Always make sure you wash hands after doing something like that.
And also, it's always better to find better ways of keeping mosquitoes away like a mosquito repellent
Best regards.
