Mosquito net (queen)

Mosquito nets are one of the basic tools in the fight against malaria. If the mozzies can't bite you then that probably cuts down your risk of getting malaria quite considerably! If we may point out the biggest thing to be careful of is that you don't end up sleeping against the net, because you can then be bitten through the net. There should be a gap between the net and the edge of the bed so it is important to buy the right size net.

This netting has 22 holes per square cm to try and cut down on the one drawback of sleeping under a net, feeling hot because of a perception that the air is not moving.

Essential for those going into malaria areas.
