Mosquito Bites
Mosquitoes are notoriously known for hijacking the blood of their host to consume a bloody meal and potentially spreading mosquito-borne diseases, viruses and other ailments. With their familiar humming noises as they approach, they certainly can dissolve outdoor events. Mosquito bites then proceed to itch and torment us, as we wonder about the possible infections or illnesses left in their wake.
Common Mosquito Diseases
Males do no drink the blood of unsuspecting hosts; they consume nectar and pollens for nourishment. Females only drink blood for reproducing, needing the extra protein it offers. But being responsible for the most deaths than any other animal, mosquito can spread deadly disease such as; malaria, dengue fever, yellow fever, and encephalitis, as well as heartworm which if fatal to canines. Chikungunya, Zyka, West Nile Virus, among others have been linked to mosquito bites but not all mosquitoes will spread diseases.
Lifespan of a Mosquito
Mosquitoes have four life cycles; egg, larvae, pupa and adult. Females lay their eggs in stagnant water; a shallow puddle is all it takes. The eggs hatch on the water, and during the larvae and pupa stages they keep to living on waters, only flying away as adults in search of mating and meal consumption. South Carolina is home to at least 61 different species of mosquitoes with 3500 known species found across the world.
Mosquito Prevention
When traversing the outdoors where mosquito populations are high, be sure to wear a chemical free repellent. During the hours of dusk and dawn, mosquito numbers peak and are in search of a bloody meal. Eliminate unnecessary bodies of water around your home. Kitty pools, collected rain water in random containers, pet water, and other stagnant water should be either drained or covered when not in use. Mosquitoes are known to be attracted to dark colors those drinking excessive beer. Be sure to safeguard your home with installing sufficient screens on windows, ensure the weather stripping is properly installed, and keep the doors closed to reduce mosquitoes from infiltrating your home.
