A member asked:
A mosquito entered my mouth but i immediately got it out and wahsed my mouth several times and brushed my teeth so can i get any disease from it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mosquito: It is extremely unlikely that you would get an infection this way. Mosquitoes transmit disease via blood - which means illness is only transmitted when you are "bit" or "poked" by a mosquito.
