Mosquito bites in Africa and elsewhere claim the lives of millions of people each year – far more victims than those killed by sharks and crocodiles. Thee buzzing, bothersome flies spread malaria, dengue fever, and other diseases that are fatal if left untreated.
Using an Environmental Protection Agency-registered insect repellent, covering up while outdoors and keeping mosquitoes outside by using window or door screens are ways to prevent mosquito bites, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
