n the current season and certain times across Ithe year, rarely do we get any respite from being exposed to different mosquitoes and insects. Climate changes and the increase in humidity have increased their proliferation. Babies/children are all the more unprepared to deal with mosquitoes and hence become easy targets for them.

More so, mosquitoes are poten- tial carrier of diseases such as dengue, chikun- gunya and malaria.  4 Two of the main preventive tools that the World Health Organisation suggests to protect the babies from mosquitoes are — the control of the environment and the use of mosquito repellents. .% / .&/ In case of a baby in the family, one has to be extra cautious as it is important to make sure that the baby is protected from mosquito bites. iver cancer starts in the cells of your liver.
