Small Bite, Big Threat

It was World Health Day on Monday the 7th April and this year the theme by the World Health Organization was ‘Small Bite, Big Threat’.  

Mosquitos and other bugs such as ticks and flies may harm your health.

Take precautions against these when travelling to high risk areas, by doing the following:  

  • taking preventive medication if you can
  • use mosquito or bug repellant cream or sprays
  • wear long sleeves and pants in the evening 
  • sleep under a mosquito net
