When you book your Airport Transfer to take you to a distant land, which is Home Sweet Home to the Mighty Mosquito (Trillions of them to be precise) then Number One on your List of Priorities must be avoiding Mosquito Bites, every single one that is, and to come back from your Holiday un-pierced.
Too much to ask you might think ?
Not if you plan your trip properly and follow the wise words we have for you, acquired through Personal Experience abroad in June 2008.
This is not just a bunch of words cobbled together online, this is protecting you and your Children (if you have any) from many hundreds of Mosquito borne diseases.
Mosquitoes carry various types of bacteria, viruses, and parasites, and the worst of these is Malaria, Yellow Fever, Encephalitis, Nile Fever and Dengue Fever.
INTERESTING FACT: Mosquitoes kill more people every year than any other animal on the Planet !
These mosquito borne diseases kill many millions of children every year in tropical countries, where you are no doubt headed to, with real wonder and anticipation of a Fun Holiday in your mind.
The Mighty Mosquito is waiting for You, and being several millions of years older than mankind, it has evolved into the Perfect Blood Sucker in it's highly unusual life cycle.
How does the Mosquito find you in the first place ?
Mosquitoes detect the carbon dioxide in your exhaled breath and then fly upwind along the air draughts to locate the source of it, ie. YOU !
They don't have great vision, but if you move they can see the movement in daytime or at night as they have Night Vision capability - they can see Infra Red Light - that is they see warm/hot things clearly in pitch black darkness and you are giving of that Invisible Warm Light from every inch of your juicy body in the dark.
Also they can detect your sweat to be able to home in on you, land on your bare skin, and they insert their dirty, infected, syringe-style needle (Proboscis) into your flesh and then start gorging themselves on your lifeblood.
During the Summer Heat in the daytime it is too hot for Mosquitoes to be flying around, so they find a cool place to relax in before hunting time at dusk in the evening, when the sun goes down.
However if you are nearby and rouse them, they will drink your blood, as you have provided them with a perfect Dinner Invitation to feed on you.
All Mosquitoes feed on flower nectar to survive, however the female Mosquito needs the iron and protein etc. in your blood to make eggs, and thus most species are able to suck blood which is called Haematophagy (enter stage right Count Dracula).
The biggest species of Mosquito does not drink blood, it's larvae eat the larvae of other Mosquitoes ! This why this large type of Mosquito Eater was bred on occasions for Pest control purposes with little result due to the vast stagnant areas that are available for breeding.
Well - how can you go on Holiday to a much desired exotic location, and guarantee to survive healthy and well and also live to tell the tale ?

- Visit Clwyd, UK (Devinder Patel)
The County of Clwyd is a treasure for Wales. It remained a county from 1974 until 1996, with a county council, which was separated into six districts: Alyn and Deeside, Colwyn, Delyn, Glyndwr, Rhuddlan and Wrexham Maelor. - The End Of Avon County (Devinder Patel)
For celebrations sake, the post of Avon's Lord Lieutenant was abolished, thus Bristol regaining its own High Sheriff and Lord Lieutenant, while the other administration was returned to its primitive counties. Advices to change Bristol's borders (either by drawing new sketches or by incorporating the mostly urban borough of Kingswood added to it) were discarded. - The Present and Future of GPS Devices (Mark Etinger)
How good have the last few years been for the GPS business? In the second quarter of 2005, over 1,200,000 GPS devices were sold to consumers around the country. In the same quarter of 2006 that number had jumped to an astonishing 2,400,000 - a leap of 100%! Read more here....
