The mosquito is a major cause of many serious diseases throughout the world.\u00a0 Five of the most widely known mosquito-borne diseases are Malaria, Yellow Fever, Dengue Fever, Japanese Encephalitis, and West Nile Virus.<\/p>\n
Malaria is the most common serious disease caused by mosquitoes. Over a million people die from this disease worldwide each year.<\/p>\n
Female mosquitoes deposit their eggs into your bloodstream as they feed on your blood.\u00a0 These parasite eggs incubate and mature in your liver and then attack your red blood cells.\u00a0 The first symptoms usually arise within twenty-four hours.\u00a0 Some symptoms are a high fever, shivers and chills, as well as nausea and vomiting.\u00a0 This is usually followed by a deep sleep and then a flare up occurs.\u00a0 If these symptoms repeat themselves every two to three days, you must seek medical attention.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
There’s an anti-malaria drug that can be taken to help protect you when traveling on vacation in mosquito infested tropical climates.\u00a0 For you to receive maximum protection, this medication should be taken before, during, and after your trip.\u00a0 However, these pills may not always be completely effective.<\/p>\n
Pharmaceutical drugs such as Chloroquine, Doxycycline, Mefloquine, and Fansidar, can be\u00a0 prescribed to treat malaria, but again, they aren’t always totally effective.\u00a0 Ask your doctor more about the dosage and length of time that you should take any of these prescription medications.\u00a0<\/p>\n
You can protect yourself from yellow fever by getting vaccinated by a physician at a local health authority before you travel on your holidays.\u00a0 This vaccination lasts about ten years and is very effective.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Japanese encephalitis is a viral infection that is transmitted by a bite from an infected mosquito.\u00a0 This disease can be prevented by a series of three vaccinations.<\/p>\n
Dengue fever is a viral disease that’s spread by mosquitoes.\u00a0 There’s no vaccination that will prevent this disease.<\/p>\n
The West Nile Virus is also spread by infected mosquitoes.\u00a0 There is no vaccine available to protect you from this disease.<\/p>\n
Always keep in mind that when it comes to the serious mosquito-borne diseases, prevention is always better than a cure, even if there is one.\u00a0 It’s always best to limit the chances of being bitten and infected by mosquitoes in the first place.\u00a0 You should always wear loose fitting, long-sleeved shirts and slacks between the hours of dusk and dawn and apply a DEET containing insect repellent when mosquitoes become active near dusk.\u00a0 Always kill all the mosquitoes in your room before going to sleep, and use mosquito netting and coils when camping or sleeping outdoors.<\/p>\n
