Press Release Summary = Anti Mosquito Patch Is The Safe & Effective Mosquito
Repellent That Works For Your Home or When You Are Outdoor.

Press Release Body = The best environment for mosquitoes to breed is in warm, hot
and humid conditions. Most species of mosquitoes reproduce by laying their eggs in
water. This means that ANY containment of water such as pots, or even overturned
cans can be a breeding ground for mosquitoes.

Do you know that some mosquitoes carry life-threatening diseases such as dengue,
malaria, yellow fever and encephalitis?

Here are some facts about malaria and dengue that everyone should know.

- One of the most common diseases that some mosquitoes may carry is the Malaria
disease. Malaria is caused by a blood-borne parasite that infects and then destroys
red blood cells. Once infected, victims may suffer from repeated episodes of fever,
or anemia and even death.

The World Health Organization estimates that each year 300-500 million cases of
malaria occur and more than 1 million people die of malaria. About 1,300 cases of
malaria are diagnosed in the United States each year.

Malaria occurs in over 100 countries and territories. More than 40% of the world's
population is at risk. Large areas of Central and South America, Hispaniola (the
Caribbean island that is divided between Haiti and the Dominican Republic), Africa,
the Indian subcontinent, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Oceania are considered
malaria-risk areas.

- Another deadly disease that the some mosquitoes may carry is dengue. Dengue can
cause fever, chills and skeletal pain. This disease is commonly carried by the Aedes
Mosquito and is a dangerous threat to home owners. Some of the symptoms of dengue
include bleeding (from the nose, mouth, and gums), excessive thirst and difficulty
in breathing. A lot of these symptoms also mirror another deadly virus - the Ebola
virus.

Some 2500 million people (2/5 of the world's population) are now at risk from
dengue. World Health Organisation (WHO) estimates there may be 50 million cases of
dengue infection worldwide every year.

You can prevent malaria and dengue by:
- keeping mosquitoes from biting you, especially at night
- taking antimalarial drugs to kill the parasites
- eliminating places around your home where mosquitoes breed
- sleeping under bed nets - especially effective if they have been treated with
insecticide, and
wearing or using insect repellent and long-sleeved clothing if outdoors.
