Write letter to an editor of a national daily on topic the small mosquito is a big danger
Answers
Mosquitoes are carriers for certain diseases, some of which can be deadly. In the United States, West Nile virus is the most common and dangerous mosquito-transmitted disease. Mosquitoes also transmit malaria, dengue fever and chikungunya.
Common symptoms of these diseases include fever, body aches, dizziness and confusion.
These symptoms can pop up two days to two weeks after a mosquito bite. If you get bitten and develop flu-like symptoms, see your doctor immediately.
Your chances of being infected with a disease through a mosquito bite are very small, and there are steps you can take to reduce your risk of being bitten.
--Cover your skin as much as you can when you’re outside and mosquitoes are active.
--Use insect repellent on exposed skin
--Make sure there are screens on all the windows and doors in your home and that you cover any rips or tears in them.
--Avoid having standing water around your home.

The Editor,

Sir,
Subject: Insanitary Condition
Through the esteemed columns of your newspaper, I would like to draw the attentions of relevant authorities towards the bad and poor condition of cleanliness and drain system of our town.
The streets are not swept regularly. The municipal cleaning staff has been disappeared since last two months. The piles of garbage can be seen everywhere in our society. Bad smell is arising from these refuses which cannot be bored by residents.
These refuses have blocked the drain system very badly. The drain water is over flowing from gutters. This water has turned into big pounds .This is not only affecting badly the condition of roads but also creating problems for users. Specially the pedestrians cannot cross the road and face a lot troubles while crossing the roads.
This bad system is generating many fatal diseases. Flies are found immensely and it is helping to the growth of mosquitoes. Malaria has just broken out and many persons have become victims of malaria fever. This worse atmosphere may give birth to many dangerous diseases like dengue and cholera.If this condition will remain continue for few weeks, we can lose many precious bodies due to careless behavior of relevant authorities
I, hereby, request that this matter should be taken in hand seriously by relevant municipal authority . Some immediate steps must be taken to stop this grim issue so that people can live comfortably. I am looking forward your prompt and positive response regarding this matter.
Yours truly,
X.Y.Z
