A member asked:

How can i avoid mosquito bites and are they dangerous for pregnant women. advice please?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Mosquito bites: Use insect repellant in small amounts, stay in the house at night. Most bites are benign and there are few illnesses in the usa transmitted by mosquitos that are likely to affect you and the fetus. Good luck.
