Hi everyone, how are you doing today?

With warmer temperatures, mosquito season is well underway, and that means a higher risk of bites and mosquito-borne illnesses, especially in damp or humid areas.

For people living with chronic illnesses or weakened immune systems, mosquito bites aren’t just a nuisance, they can sometimes lead to more serious complications. Infections like West Nile virus or dengue can be especially dangerous when your health is already vulnerable.

That’s why it’s important to take extra care during the summer: using repellents, mosquito nets, and wearing protective clothing are simple but effective steps.

💬 Have you ever had an unusual reaction to a mosquito bite?

🧴 What do you use to protect yourself during mosquito season?

👩‍⚕️ Has your doctor ever advised specific precautions because of your condition?

I use mosquito repellent. Mosquitoes love me for some reason.
