Bites that Kill

If only diseases could be swatted away like their perpetrators, life would be a much more pleasant experience. Unfortunately, there is no swatting away for the likes of Malaria and Dengue, and the only way to safeguard oneself is prevention and control.

INSECT-BORNE DISEASES

Insect-borne diseases are bacterial and viral illnesses caused by insect bites and/or infestations.
Amongst pests and insects, mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas are the widest perpetrators of these diseases. A person or animal has increased chances of contracting an insect-borne disease when they spend extended time in areas that are populated by these blood-sucking pests. These areas include spaces with stagnant water (for example: dysfunctional fountains, open drainage, bird baths with stale water), heavily bushed areas, and, spaces thick with unkempt grass and moss growth.

With increasing threats of insect-borne diseases, knowledge is a crucial weapon that you can use to protect yourself and your family from the fangs of death.

On these websites, you can read more about the following most dangerous and widespread insectborne diseases:

• Zika Virus
• West Nile Virus
• Chikungunya
• Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE)
• Lyme Disease
• Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever
• Parasitic Heartworms

We have listed below three very important sites that you should refer to increase awareness of insectborne diseases, their symptoms, causes, and their preventions:

• Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
• Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (ODPHP)
• National Institutes of Health
