People who spend a lot of time outdoors should be conscious that pesky mosquitoes can bring a range of viral diseases that could threaten your life.

Although most people have already heard about the correlation between mosquitoes and West Nile virus, there are numerous other diseases mosquitoes carry that the general population does not know about. It is an unfortunate fact that if the news does not report a person contracting a mosquito carried disease, most people would not even know the existence of these diseases at all. Mosquitoes are one of the deadliest and dirtiest pests known to man.

Some of the viral diseases mosquitoes can transmit 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 some 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 five make up most of these deaths.

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.

Even though these facts seem terrible, they are not the most dreaded part of the mosquito problem. As people get older, 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 ridded of; the mosquitoes can be warded off or repelled using simple mosquito repellents & nets. Keep these pests away from your body & stay healthy, to prevent catching diseases from these terrible insects.
