Mosquito net appeal
« on: April 30, 2011, 11:15:11 AM »
Just seen a SCF ad on telly for buying mosquito nets for African kids. They cost £3 apparently. But surely you would have to be wrapped in it all the time, like. YOu can't stay in bed under a net for 24 hours a day can you? SO how does that werk?

Mossies tend to feed at dawn and dusk so I guess that the nets protect you while you're still snoozing in the early morning. At dusk you are probably awake and can splat them. (although african sprogs might have gone to bed)

They might not be mossies but if they are, they are more attracted to the smell of some people than of others.  Not sure why will go and Google or ask Snoops, pheromones prolly.

I have always thought that the worst thing about drowning was having to call 'help!' You must look such a fool. It's put me against drowning.
