Mosquito bed nets

No.2855189 View ViewReplyOriginalReport
Do mosquito bed nets like the ones given out by organizations like against malaria foundation help people sleep better or make them more comfortable? Or is the only benefit that they help save lives by making people less likely to get malaria?

>The long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) provided by the Against Malaria Foundation are high-tech protective shields made from durable polyethylene or polyester fibers specifically engineered to survive harsh tropical environments for three to four years. These nets are far more than a physical barrier; the fabric is either impregnated or coated with WHO-prequalified insecticides, such as pyrethroids, which kill or repel malaria-carrying *Anopheles* mosquitoes on contact. This insecticide is designed to be wash-resistant, remaining effective for up to twenty manual washes, while the specific mesh size is precisely calibrated to balance cooling airflow with impenetrable protection against even the smallest insects. >Because these nets are family-sized, each one typically protects two individuals often a mother and child and by killing mosquitoes throughout the night, they create a "community effect" that reduces the overall mosquito density in the area, providing an extra layer of safety for the entire village even during the day.
