Slap! Another mosquito!I try to resist the urge to scratch, but it would be easier to refuse a glass of water on a 110-degree day. I scratch, and oh, glorious relief! The feeling is just momentary, though, because here comes that hot sensation, and now my skin is swelling into a hideous red bump.Who knows what disease that thing could be carrying? At least I can be sure it isn’t HIV.

World Mosquito Day, observed annually on 20 August, is a commemoration of Indian doctor Sir Ronald Ross's discovery in 1897 that female mosquitoes transmit malaria between humans.Ross is responsible for the annual observance, having declared shortly after his discovery that the day should be known as World Mosquito Day in the future.
The London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine holds Mosquito Day celebrations every year, including events such as parties and exhibitions, a tradition dating back to as early as the 1930s.

HAPPY WORLD MOSQUITO DAY.
