If you are planning on visiting Thailand during the wet season (coming soon) then you should be careful not to get Dengue Fever. This disease is spread by the bite of an infected mosquito called Aedes aegypti. In the first two months of this year, two people have died in Thailand and 2,769 people have become infected. The number of infections is 75% greater than the same period last year so the government are warning the public to be careful during the approaching wet season.

HOW TO PREVENT MOSQUITO BITES:

Dengue mosquitoes bite during the daytime. Protect yourself from the bite.

(1) Wear full sleeve clothes and long dresses to cover the limbs;
(2) Repellent тАУ care should be taken in using repellents on small children and the elderly;
(3) Use mosquito coils and electric vapour mats during the daytime to prevent Dengue;
(4) Use mosquito nets тАУ to protect babies, old people and others, who may rest during the day. Curtains can also be treated with insecticide and hung at windows or doorways, to repel or kill mosquitoes.
(5) Protection of people sick with dengue тАУ Mosquitoes become infected when they bite people who are sick with dengue. Mosquito nets and mosquito nets and mosquito coils will effectively prevent mosquitoes from biting sick people and help stop the spread of dengue

Pending on how many legs he mosquito’s are having while biting ...


I still do prefer the two-legged ones. They suck your cash and leave you in peace for a while.


Regarding the sex-legged (not six-packed!) beasts please have also a look at: http://www.sawatdee-gay-thailand.com/fo ... tml#119849 (http://www.sawatdee-gay-thailand.com/forum/be-aware-of-spreading-dengue-fever-t12581.html#119849)
