Do you know the deadliest animal in the world? Is it a Lion, Crocodile, or a Hippo? Any guesses? No? Well, you will be surprised to know that it’s the Mosquito! I am not joking. Mosquitoes may look small, but they kill more than a million people every year. Yes, it’s true. Only female mosquitoes bite humans. Ouch! While biting, they can transmit dangerous pathogens to our body. As a result, they spread various deadly diseases such as… Malaria Dengue Yellow fever Chikungunya West Nile Filariasis Zika etc. Mosquitoes are as old as the Dinosaurs. Do you know that, there are 3,000 species of mosquitoes around the world? Surprisingly, they don’t have teeth. Then how do they bite us? Well, they have proboscis or sharp needle-like tubes to pierce our skin and suck the blood. Fortunately, they have a shorter lifespan (10 to 56 days). Thank god, that’s the only relief! #bloodcollectioncenter #covidrtpcr #bloodtest #test (at Delhi, India) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUVUSOlKpbl/?utm_medium=tumblr
