Mosquito borne diseases
Summers are here, and we need to be extra cautious of few of the common diseases that prevail every summer and resultantly add to our medical bills. Summer is the breeding season for bugs, ticks, chiggers, spiders and such insects which could ultimately make us sick when bit by them. Their bite can transfer viruses such as West Nile virus and yellow fever, and ticks can transmit diseases like Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. Be careful of insects, spray mosquito repellents in houses and try to cover clothes that cover your skin.
