How to kill a mosquito

The mosquito is the most bad ass of all the animals in the world. According to the World Health Organization, the tiny insect kills about 1 million people in the world every year. 

These deaths are due to the diseases mosquito transmit mostly malaria and dengue fever and the other lesser known blood borne diseases like yellow fever, West Nile fever, chikungunia, etc. 

The pest is a biological weapon.

The mosquito's weapon is it's proboscis. It's a hollow spear, a syringe, that pierces the skin and allows the mosquitoes to suck blood.

Mosquito bites are painful and very irritating. Aside from biting, these insect also loves annoying people by buzzing the ear.

One of the common ways to kill a mosquito is by whacking it. 

Sometimes implements like newspaper, a book or anything on hand is used as a whacker therefore multiplying the amount of force that hits the insect that it obliterates the mosquito into splatters of blood.  

The more annoyed the victim is the more forceful the whacking.

Guess what that does?

Yes, the force of the slap that hits the mosquito embeds its proboscis deeper into the skin and at the same time squeezes its body causing all the disease causing microrganisms residing in it's stomach to be released into the blood stream.

This is like injecting yourself with a virus.

The correct way to kill a mosquito requires skill and patient.

First, wait. When a mosquito lands on the skin, take time. As long as the mosquito is sucking the blood out, there's negative pressure. 

Wait till the mosquito is about to get full, but don't let it get full because once it got full  the negative pressure would drop and that is when backflow would occur letting the infected blood flow back to the blood stream.

Another advantage of waiting till the mosquito is almost full is that it slows down the mosquito's reaction.

This is all about patience and timing, remember that this is the most dangerous animal in the world.

Once the time is right, slowly flip the mosquito off your skin with your fingers. 

The force will squash the mosquito and send it flying off with its proboscis still intact. 

Of course, by the time you have accomplished this, you have already been bitten by thousands of mosquitoes. 

So be careful.
