Are you concerned about how your child may be affected by the tiger mosquito bites<\/a><\/span><\/strong>? Don't worry, today we are going to tell you about this type of mosquito and how to act to avoid discomfort<\/strong> it causes.<\/p>\n

The tiger mosquito is a species that originates from from the rainforests<\/strong> in Southeast Asia. From 2004 onwards, they began to be detected in Catalonia and also, although more occasionally, in the Valencian Community. It is an urban insect, which reproduces by taking advantage of stagnant water in urban environments.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

From a health point of view, the mosquito is a potential transmitter of more than twenty infectious diseases,<\/strong> some of them even viral, as well as the discomfort caused by the stinging that their bites provoke. Although their incidence in Spain is still low, we must take appropriate precautions.<\/p>\n

Tiger mosquito bites<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

The bites <\/strong><\/a><\/span>of tiger mosquitoes can occur at any time of the day<\/strong>The most vulnerable areas of our bodies are at sunrise and sunset. The areas of our body most vulnerable to these stings are in the following areas the legs<\/strong>The insects move mainly at ground level.<\/p>\n

Among the precautions that need to be taken are to prevent the water accumulation occurs<\/strong> in drains or drainage areas, always favouring the flow of water. In addition, cover puddles of water in outdoor areas, and empty inflatable or plastic pools every three or four days, keep pools covered when not in use, and also cover all types of cisterns, tanks, reservoirs, wells, etc. Water accumulated in holes in tree trunks and branches also favours the reproduction of tiger mosquitoes.<\/p>\n

Protection at home<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Among them, cover or turn down any container<\/strong> that can accumulate water, including those that can collect rainwater, as well as covering water containers that are not going to be used with a thick mosquito net, emptying dishes under flowerpots with accumulated water, changing dishes in animal water troughs, etc...<\/p>\n
