Have you ever been bitten by a mosquito? It makes you
feel itchy but sometimes a mosquito can give you a very nasty disease called
malaria or dengy fever. The germs that cause these diseases live inside the
mosquito and when it bites someone the germs travel through the saliva and
into the person’s blood. Yuk!
Living in Thailand there are lots of mosquitoes so you
need to careful not to get bitten. If you go out when it is dark you should
put on some mosquito spray or wear long trousers and a long shirt.
Can you think of any other ways to protect yourself
against mosquitoes? Write to Marvin and tell him. You can send your letters
