"If you think you're too small to have an impact, try going to bed with a mosquito. Anita Roddick"
DEATH IS SOMETHING THAT EVERYONE HAS TO FACE. SOME DIE A NATURAL DEATH AND SOME DON'T. TERRORISM, NATURAL CALAMITIES ARE SOME OF THE BIGGEST DEATH CAUSES. BUT THE DEADLIEST OF ALL IS THE MOSQUITO. IT GOES BY THE SCIENTIFIC NAME OF CULICIDAE. THE WORD MOSQUITO COMES FROM MOSCO AND ITO WHICH MEANS LITTLE FLY IN SPANISH. THEY FEED ON BLOODS OF VARIOUS TYPES OF ANIMALS AND HUMANS. THEY ARE THE MOST IRRITATING (OTHER THAN A HOUSE FLY) CREATURES IN OUR HOUSE. THEY MAINLY ATTACK DURING THE NIGHT . THEY ENTER OUR PREMISES DURING EVENING AND TILL THE NEXT DAY MORNING THEY WILL BE ROAMING AROUND US. THEY MAKE THAT IRRITATING SOUND NEAR OUR EARS AND WE JUST SHOO THEM AWAY. THEIR BITE IS MORE IRRITATING. WE JUST SCRATCH THE BITTEN PART TILL IT TURNS PINKISH RED. WE MAY USE BADMINTON BATS OR COILS BUT THEIR GROWTH IS UNSTOPPABLE .
DELHI IS SUFFERING A LOT NOWADAYS DUE TO THESE MOSQUITOES. EVERY DAY SOME OR THE OTHER PERSON IS ADMITTED IN THE HOSPITAL . THE CASES ARE MAINLY MALARIA ,DENGUE AND CHIKUNGUNYA. YESTERDAY DELHI REPORTED ITS FIRST CASUALITY OF MALARIA, A 31 YR OLD MAN. MORE CASES ARE BEING REPORTED OF CHIKUNGUNYA. THE GOVERNMENT DOES EVERYTHING TO PREVENT THIS. THEY SPRAY EVERY HOUSE WITH MOSQUITO REPELLENT GAS. THE OFFICIALS CHECK EVERY NOOK AND CORNER TO ENSURE THAT STAGNANT WATER IS NOT PRESENT. THEY EVEN FINE US IF STAGNANT WATER IS PRESENT. AAP GOVERNMENT IS DISTRIBUTING MEDICINES AT A SUBSIDIZED RATE . 771 CASES OF DENGUE HAVE BEEN REPORTED TILL NOW WITH 284 CASES IN ONE WEEK. IN CASE OF CHIKUNGUNYA 560 CASES HAVE BEEN REPORTED TILL NOW WITH 128 CASES IN ONE WEEK. ZIKA VIRUS IS A NEW KIND WHICH IS SLOWLY GAINING PACE AND IS MORE DEADLY AS IT AFFECTS THE NEW BORN BABIES AND ATTACKS THE CORE PART - DNA.
MALARIA IS WORST KILLER IN THE WORLD. IT IS TRANSMITTED BY FEMALE ANOPHELES MOSQUITOES. IT KILLS AROUND 660,000 PEOPLE EACH YEAR ACCORDING TO MAYO CLINICS REPORT. WHO ESTIMATES THAT 3.2 BILLION PEOPLE ARE AT THE RISK OF BEING DIAGNOSED WITH MALARIA MAINLY IN AFRICAN COUNTRIES.
BILL GATES SAID THAT HUMANS KILL AROUND 500,000 PEOPLE . DOGS KILL AROUND 25000, SNAKES AROUND 50,000 AND MOSQUITOES AROUND 700,000 ,MALARIA BEING THE HIGHEST AMONG THEM. THERE ARE AROUND 3000 SPECIES OF MOSQUITOES OF WHICH ONLY 3 ARE DANGEROUS. WHEN THEY BITE ,THEY STUCK 2 TUBES INTO THE HUMAN BODY, ONE TO SUCK BLOOD AND OTHER ONE TO INJECT THE ENZYME WHICH CAUSES BLOOD CLOTTING. THE MOST INTERESTING THING IS THAT WE HUMANS ARE NOT THEIR TOP PRIORITY FOR SUCKING BLOOD BUT HORSES,CATTLES AND BIRDS ARE. SCIENTISTS ARE SAYING THAT WITH INCREASE IN GLOBAL WARMING , MOSQUITO BREEDING AREAS WILL ALSO INCREASE.
PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE AS THE SAYING GOES. BUT WHAT ALL HAS TO BE DONE TO PREVENT THEM 100%.SOME OF THEM ARE USING REPELLENT CREAMS LIKE ODOMOS . USING COILS OF GOODKNIGHT OR USING THE CHINESE ELECTRIC BAT . THESE THINGS USE CHEMICALS SO WE HAVE NATURAL REMEDIES LIKE NEEM LEAVES, CITRONELLA( PLANT OIL) WHICH ACT AS REPELLENTS. TRY TO NOT TO TRAVEL TO EQUATORIAL REGIONS AS THEY ARE MORE PREFERRED HABITATS OF MOSQUITOES WHEREAS PLACES SUCH AS ANTARCTICA DO NOT HAVE A TINY PRESENCE OF MOSQUITOES. INSTEAD OF GOVT OFFICIALS CHECKING WHETHER STAGNANT WATER IS PRESENT IN YOUR HOUSES, TAKE A INITIATIVE FROM YOUR OWN SIDE AND CHECK WATERS PRESENT NEAR PLANT POTS OR IN COOLER ON INSIDE AN UNUSED BUCKET OR AN UTENSIL. KEEP YOUR SURROUNDINGS CLEAN, CHECK IF ANY DRAINAGE PROBLEM IS THERE.
IF YOU SWEAT OFTEN AFTER AN EXERCISE, CO2 IS RELEASED FROM YOUR BODY WHICH YOU EXHALE THAT EASILY ATTRACTS MOSQUITOES. THE BEST PREVENTION METHOD IS TO KILL THE MOSQUITO WITH DOUBLE HANDED CLAP.
STAY CLEAN AND PREVENT DISEASES.
