It wasn't funny at all.
Come to think of it these mosquitoes have super power these days. They tend to have hi-tech resistant power to anything you use in eradicating them out.
Insecticides is like perfume to them.
To make matters worse sleeping under a mosquito net is terrible due to the heat these days and our dear epileptic power supply in the country.
The latest is trekking galore.......
Looking forward to a trek towards a mosquito free-
Nigeria.. ..........
Malaria, What is it?
Malaria is a common but deadly infection in hot,
tropical areas of the world. Malaria (although
rarely) can also occur in temperate climates.
Malaria is caused by a parasite known as
Plasmodium , injected into your body (blood) by the bite of the female Anopheles mosquitoes.
In Africa it is estimated to
result in losses of US$12 billion a year due to
increased healthcare costs, lost ability to work,
and effects on tourism.
Heard there is an ongoing efforts to develop an effective vaccine to combat disease.
While waiting for the vaccine. .....
here are some suggestions of preventing the terrible disease.
*Maintain a clean environment .
*Clear away bushy surrounding to avoid mosquitoes breeding therein.
*Sleep under treated nets.
*Use insecticide regularly.
*Apply mosquito repellent on the skin.
*Take lots of fruits and vegetables to boost your immune system.
