Mosquito Nets
Mosquito nets are another very important piece of luggage you should consider taking with you, especially if you are travelling to parts of the world affected by malaria. Arguably they are crucial to help protect you from being bitten during the night, especially if you will be staying in basic accommodation. In any case, mosquitos seem to be particularly adept at finding their way in to most rooms, and the best way to protect yourself from their irritating, or potentially illness-inducing, bites is by using a mosquito net along with insect repellent.
Don't forget mosquitos don't just carry the malarial parasite, but can also carry other diseases such as dengue fever and yellow fever, and we all want to do what we can to avoid catching these nasty illnesses!
If you are travelling to areas of the world affected by malaria and other mosquito-borne diseases, an impregnated mosquito net might be the best investment you can make. A mosquito net impregnated with insect repellent acts as a very effective double barrier to biting insects, especially as mosquito nets have a tendency to develop small holes with frequent use.
Mosquito Nets
Mosquito nets are an essential piece of kit and are commnly available from many travel stores. We recommend that you research the best mosquito net for you either at pack your bags travel store or at gear zone travel store,
as both supply an excellent range of impregnated mosquito nets. Most nets also come with very handy bags which fit well into any rucksack or can be easily attached to the side of your backpack.
