Not all mosquitoes are the same!

Male: Feathery antennae, feed on nectar, don't bite people.

Female: Less feathery antennae, need a blood meal to develop eggs, and are the ones that bite.

💡 Next time you see a mosquito, look closely,you might be able to tell the difference!

Research suggests that people with blood type O may attract mosquitoes more often than those with other blood types. However, your blood type isn't the only factor,your body odor, the carbon dioxide you exhale, body heat, and sweat can all influence how attractive you are to mosquitoes.

The word deadly is very dangerous so are mosquitoes.
According to World Health Organization, 282 million malaria cases, and 610,000 malaria deaths globally in 2024.
About 95% of malaria deaths occurred in Africa.
Let start with distilling those choked gutters.

Dengue is transmitted to humans through the bite of infected Aedes mosquitoes, mainly Aedes aegypti .Unlike malaria mosquitoes, these mosquitoes are most active during the daytime.
Protect yourself by avoiding mosquito bite. Together,we can reduce the spread of dengue and protect our communities.
