Anything, Everything I - Mosquito.. Mosquito--


Last week was quite tough for me. I was suffering from cold, cough, headache and fever. Immediately I consulted the doctor who stays nearby my residence.

“What happened?”- He asked.
“I am sick”- That was my curt reply

He smiled – “I know, that’s why you are here. Tell me more, what happened? How happened?”
 I started “Day before yesterday in the evening I had Dahi wada and butter milk. Then I had grapes and ice cream in the night. Morning, I had my usual Rice meal lunch. From yesterday onwards, I am suffering from cough & cold. Night, I had fever.”

He checked my pulse, measured BP, told me to open mouth twice, with a small torch inspected my eyes.  Then he noticed some marks of mosquito bites on my hands.
“Nothing to worry. I am prescribing some medicines. Take it on time.  No cold drinks, fruits for some days. Avoid rice, if possible and most important things must take precautions from Mosquitoes. See your hands, how ruthlessly they bit you”- He said.

“Are mosquitoes responsible for my fever?”- I enquired. I was thinking that I am suffering from cold & cough due to season change and cold food that I took that night.

“For that, I need to set up an enquiry commission to look into this matter, who is more culprits. Nevertheless, one thing you always keep in the mind that you need to protect yourself from mosquitoes. Pointing towards my hand he quipped – your mosquitoes friendly nature will certainly land you in big trouble, this is high time you should change your equation with mosquitoes”.

I thanked him profusely, purchased the medicines and came back to my room.

In night, I had given enough thought to mosquitoes.  Mosquitoes are strange creature. They hum, they sing, they dance, they prance, they dive, and they do all interesting things before you as if they are entertaining you.  The moment you start noticing their act, feel irritated or try to take action against them by switching on mosquito propellant, or try to catch them under palm,  they will vanish but not before biting you!  Sometimes they can give you a tough time.

There are various ways to get protection from Mosquitoes.  Use Mosquito propellant liquid, coil or use cream on the part of the body that are exposed.  However, most effective way to keep mosquitoes away from disturbing you is mosquito net. Tie Mosquito net around your bed, be inside it, and feel safe, secure and salubrious.

 The Doctor is right. I must change my equation with mosquitoes.  Today I am going to purchase mosquito net and will use three layers of protection. First, Will use ‘Mortein’ in the night, second, apply cream on hands and face and third, without fail I will use mosquito net every night.

Hope, Mosquitoes will have tough time in my room from today onwards.
