Mosquito net

A mosquito net is a lightweight, fine-mesh fabric covering designed to protect people from mosquitoes and other small insects, especially while sleeping.

Key features:

Material: Usually made from cotton, polyester, or nylon with tiny holes that allow air flow but block insects.

Design: Can be rectangular, circular (canopy style), or box-shaped, often hung over beds, cribs, or sleeping areas.

Function: Acts as a physical barrier to prevent mosquito bites.

Treatment (optional): Some nets are treated with insecticides (called insecticide-treated nets or ITNs) to kill or repel mosquitoes.

Uses:

Commonly used in tropical and subtropical regions where mosquito-borne diseases like Malaria, Dengue fever, and Zika virus infection are prevalent.

Also useful for camping, traveling, or in homes without screened windows.

Benefits:

Reduces risk of insect bites and disease transmission

Provides a chemical-free protection option (if untreated)

Improves sleep comfort in insect-prone areas
