Today is World Mosquito Day

World Mosquito Day was first established in 1897, when the link between mosquitos and malaria transmission was discovered by Sir Ronald Ross. It aims to raise awareness about the causes of malaria and how it can be prevented, as well as fundraising for research into the cure of malaria. It is also a salute to the groundbreaking work of Sir Ross and scientists who have followed him.

The London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine celebrates World Mosquito Day with exhibitions and parties designed both to entertain and to inform, while other celebrations include Malaria No More’s ‘Mozzy Air’ campaign, encouraging people to take anti-malarial when flying to malaria zones, and Nothing But Nets’ twitter campaigns to provide mosquito nets for poor communities.

I don't get bitten that much, but I'm still not a fan.

 

There’s a kind of a buzz about this day.

 

Oh no mosquito day on the day that I'm going fishing good job I've got my jungle spray then

 

Be careful Bazza, the spray doesn't work against Lion's.

Buzzing, annoying things.
Just as you start to drift off to sleep in summer all you hear is the dreaded bzzzzzzz then you stumble around looking for the insect spray and are unable to get back to sleep.
