Nobody cares for mosquitoes, perhaps because they seem to serve no useful function for humans. For most mosquito species, the female draws food for her developing eggs by inserting her proboscis into the flesh of a mammal or reptile and drawing blood. Unfortunately the mosquito's bite also brings along discomfort, pain, and sometimes disease, or even an allergic reaction in a growing number of cases. Diseases spread by the mosquito are numerous in certain areas and include millions of deaths by malaria each year, as well as recent outbreaks of the West Nile Virus. Not all mosquito species transmit disease to humans, but because they're so small it is difficult to easily tell which species is in your vicinity. Bite prevention is the best cure, so in other words, deter the mosquito before it bites you.
