What are the chances of contracting an infection/disease from a mosquito? do they all carry disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mosquitos: don't all carry pathogens that can infect humans. The chances of contracting a disease from a mosquito depends on where one lives, the season (like rainy/dry season) & which type of mosquito bites you.
