Some serious infectious diseases such as malaria, yellow fever and dengue fever, are transmitted by insect bites. While there are vaccines and drugs available to help protect against some of these diseases, travellers are advised to always protect against mosquito bites. Some tips include:
- Wear mosquito repellent that contains at least 30 per cent DEET.
- Stay indoors between dusk and dawn. The mosquitoes carrying the malaria parasite generally feed at this time.
- Apply repellent, such as permethrin, to your clothes and bedding.
- Wear socks, long pants, and long-sleeve shirts when outdoors.
- Use a bed net.
- Stay in airconditioned, screened accommodation.
For about two weeks now, I have been sleeping really late around 3 am and waking up too early like 5 or 6 am. I have no choice because I have to finish several assignments. But, I am not complaining as I like what I am doing. Just that I have been seeing various eye problems like fine lines and dark circles. I never thought that I will see these results in such a short time. Or I am just too paranoid with my looks. Hahaha! Actually, I don’t particularly use this product. This will be the first time. So, I have to take further steps to learn more about it.
