Mosquitoes – The Biting Season.
Tips and myths.
Since moving to Australia we’ve been fairly lucky when it comes to mosquitoes. There were few around, but now with all the rain, there are plenty about.
We try the Vitamin B tablets (there are child forms) and cooking with Garlic as solutions. There’s no avoiding various lotions and potions to repel or table top burners and lights.
As well as itchy bites, in Queensland in the past, there was a Dengue fever outbreak. Dengue fever is a viral disease transmitted by mosquitoes to humans that can cause fatalities. Fevers, aches and pains as some of the symptoms. Whilst councils spay mosquito breading grounds it’s worth taking care.
