Mosquito Detox Information One example is the mosquito genus Anopheles which carries the malaria parasite. Malaria causes more than 2 million deaths annually, according to the Centers for Disease Control. Some species of mosquito can carry the filariasis worm, a parasite that causes a disfiguring condition often referred to as elephantiasis and is characterized by a great swelling of several parts of the body. Currently there are 40 million people living with a filariasis disability. Mosquitoes or ticks are arthropods that carry viruses known collectively as arboviruses. The viral diseases yellow fever and dengue fever are transmitted mostly by Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. Other viral diseases like epidemic polyarthritis, Rift Valley fever, Ross River Fever, St. Louis encephalitis, West Nile virus, Japanese encephalitis, La Crosse encephalitis and several other encephalitis type diseases are carried by several different mosquitoes. Eastern equine encephalitis and Western equine encephalitis transmitted in the United States causes diseases in humans, horses, and some bird species. Scientists have even discovered that the specific cells in the mosquito's "nose" identify the chemicals which make up the human odor; to the mosquito, some people just smell better and are more appealing to their senses. An extra whiff of carbon dioxide or a little extra perspiration and the mosquito is ready to target you specifically, even in a crowd. This explains why at a picnic or a backyard barbecue, there's always one person who seems to be the main course in the mosquito bite buffet while others are not even bothered by a single pest. The old joke about being extra "sweet" to the taste of mosquitoes is actually true. If you appear to be one of those people specially targeted by mosquitos, it is likely that you are a chest breather rather than a belly breather making your carbon dioxide content higher. To ensure belly breathing, take a deep breath, your belly should expand much more than your chest does. Mosquitos are attracted to higher heat, so darker colors attract heat making you a likely target. You might also be deficient in one or more of the B vitamins. There are a variety of natural sprays you can make at home to repel mosquitos, search the internet for one you might like. Our Mosquito Detox Remedy helps your body resist any infection or disease delivered by mosquito's saliva or anti-coagulants. It also balances the antibodies that develop when a person reacts to mosquito bites, like the welts and hives that typically occur. It also detoxes the chemicals often used to repel mosquitos, like DEET, citronella chemicals, etc. Remember that our Liquid Detox is one of the most effective remedies for treating/healing bites and wounds. It is powerful at helping reduce pain, swelling and itching, and is very effective at preventing infection. You can apply it directly to the bite or wound or soak the absorbent part of a band aid (3-5 drops) in Liquid Detox and apply it to the bite or wound. |
