A mosquito net is a protective barrier made of fine mesh fabric designed to keep mosquitoes and other insects away from people. It is commonly used in areas where mosquito-borne diseases, such as malaria and dengue fever, are prevalent. The netting allows air to flow while preventing insects from entering, making it an effective tool for sleeping or resting outdoors. Mosquito nets can be hung over beds or used in tents, and they come in various shapes and sizes. Some nets are treated with insect repellent chemicals to enhance their effectiveness. Proper use and maintenance of a mosquito net can significantly reduce the risk of insect bites and related health issues.
