Going on holiday- My Mosquito Tip

Hey you holiday makers! If you are off to sunny climates on holidays of a lifetime...or maybe just a long week end abroad, remember this tip if you find a mozzie feasting on your blood.

It is far less dangerous to 'flick' the mosquite away from your body, rather than pulverising it and pressing its body parts into your own blood stream!

Evidence coming out of the USA points to the risk us humans take when we take revenge on mosquitos when they are taking their lunch. The Mosquitos especially those in tropical parts carry all sorts of weird disease, including malaria, west nile virus and other sorts of nasties. Mashing them into a wound that they have already opened with their probocis[mouth]. Whilst probably satisfying to you, is definatley more dangerous than excersizing the athletic 'flick' that will not only achieve the same aim...death to the mozzie..but have it removed from your body, without further risking yourself. So start practising your flicks over arm and under arm, eyes closed and open. Make yourself a champion 'flicker' and prepare to repel boarders with less risk to yourself!

Remember folks 'flick' not 'whack' ! A timely tip from Phil Bateman On Line.
