There are several diseases which can be transmitted by mosquitoes to humans. Malaria, the West Nile Virus and yellow fever are some of these diseases and it is important when you want to travel to one of the countries where there is a danger for these diseases that you take the necessary precautions.

 

Distinguishing facts from fiction is necessary because there are some myths which don't reflect the reality and can cause you a lot of problems during your travel or even when you return. Some of these parasitic diseases are responsible for a few million deaths every year.

 

It is fiction that there is not much that you can do to prevent these diseases. There are several products and medicines which can help you to protect you against bites of these mosquitoes. Malaria is a disease caused by the malaria parasite but it is only the female one which spread this disease to people. There are different types of malaria and it is important that you take the right malaria pills if you are infected which depends of the area where you want to make your travel. It is also important that you take the right malaria pills to prevent you against this terrible disease when you travel to these countries.

 

It is fiction that taking malaria pills before, during and after your travel protects you completely against this virus. A great part of these parasites are resistant against these medicines and because of that it is important that you need to take other precautions.

 

It is important that you use insect repellents like by example mosquito milk especially during the biting hours. Although these mosquitoes are active during the evening or in the early morning it is best that you use this spray also during the day on exposed skin when you are outdoors. When you are inside it is best that you put the air-conditioning on. Mosquitoes can't tolerate the cold air and you are safe that they stay away and can't infect you.
