Mosquitoes a Blood Sucking Vampire

This summer, a mosquito bite maybe a lot worse than annoying. Thanks in part of Climate change helping this bugs breed among us in record numbers. Their itchy, irritating bites and nearly ubiquitous presence can ruin a backyard barbecue or a hike in the woods. They have an uncanny ability to sense our murderous intentions, taking flight and disappearing milliseconds before a fatal swat. 
Beyond the nuisance factor, mosquitoes are carriers, or vectors, for some of humanity’s most deadly illnesses, and they are public enemy number one in the fight against global infectious disease, the disease that cause millions of  death world wide every year. Here's a look at four diseases that mosquitoes been spreading and that's going viral:

1. Dengue Fever or some called it the "breakbone" fever because it can cause severe joint pain, dengue comes with high fever and headaches, eye pain, rashes and bleeding

2. West Nile - It comes with high fever, headache, abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, convulsions, muscle aches rash and vision loss. Worst thing will happen is that the neurological effects may be permanent. 

3. Chikungunya - It has been spreading in Italy and France and will probably come soon to the East Coast, chikungunya causes debilitating fever, headache, fatigue, vomiting, muscle pain, rash and joint pain.

4. Rift Valley Fever - It bring s fever, headache, muscle pain, dizziness, vision loss, and encephalitis (inflamation of the brain, which can lead to coma and seizures).

Prevention primarily means buying fitted screens for your windows and doors, cleaning the surroundings and stocking up on DEET.
