People who spend a lot of time out-of-doors should be conscious that annoying mosquitoes can carry a range of virus-caused diseases that could be deadly.

Most people have already heard about the correlation between mosquitoes & West Nile virus. However, there are many other diseases mosquitoes carry that the general population does not know about. Sadly, if the news does not report a person contracting a mosquito transmitted disease, most people would not even be conscious these diseases even exist. Mosquitoes are one of the deadliest & dirtiest creatures known to man.

Some of the viral diseases mosquitoes can bring include the following: – dengue fever – epidemic polyarthritis – Japanese encephalitis – LaCross encephalitis – Rift Valley fever – Ross River Fever – St. Louis encephalitis – West Nile virus – yellow fever

These are just a few of the many other types of diseases mosquitoes can transmit. Mosquitoes are also the sole cause of malaria, the world’s leading cause of premature death.

The mosquito genus Anopheles cause over 5.3 million fatalities to occur each year. They are the mosquitoes that carry the malaria virus. Children under the age of 5 make up most of these fatalities.

Almost all mosquitoes are capable of carrying the filariasis worm, the cause of the disease elephantiasis. Approximately 40 million people worldwide are currently dealing with some form of this disease.

Although these facts seem scary, they are not the most terrifying part of the mosquito problem. As we age, mosquito bites are often undetected. In children, mosquito bites often cause their skin to swell up & turn red. In adults, however, they tend to build resistance to these bites.

True, some types of mosquito types can’t be rid of; the mosquitoes can be warded off or repelled using simple mosquito nets & repellents. Keep these creatures away from your body & stay healthy, to prevent getting sick from these terrible insects.
