Why are Mosquitos so Dangerous?

No one likes mosquitos. When we think of these insects, we think of the annoying buzz during the night, or the unbearable itch caused by their bite. However, when we think about dangerous animals, we think about crocodiles, snakes, and lions, not mosquitos. We forget how dangerous mosquitos are.

In fact, mosquitos might be one of the deadliest animals in the world.

“Mosquitoes are perhaps the most dangerous animals in the world,” claims Omar Akbari, PhD, an assistant professor of entomology at the Center for Disease Vector Research at the University of California Riverside. According to World Health Organization „Their ability to carry and spread disease to humans causes millions of deaths every year. In 2015 malaria alone caused 438 000 deaths. The worldwide incidence of dengue has risen 30-fold in the past 30 years, and more countries are reporting their first outbreaks of the disease.“ The Illinois Department of Public Health states that „mosquitoes and the diseases they spread have been responsible for killing more people than all the wars in history.“ Knowing these gruesome facts, the question is:

Who is at risk?

According to World Health Organization, over 40% of the world’s population has the chance to contract Dengue fever, one of the serious diseases transmitted by mosquitos. This type of fever can cause bleeding, shock, and even death in the most serious cases. The vaccine still doesn't exist. The other mosquito-borne diseases include:

Chikungunya, Yellow fever, Zika, West Nile Virus, Malaria, and Lymphatic filariasis.

If you live in the country in which an outbrake of the mosquito-borne disease has been reported, it is vital to protect yourself from mosquito bites. The first measure would be to insure that you are safe at your home and protect yoursef and your family from these dangerous insects.
