Climate change is contributing to an increase in mosquito populations. When water stagnates around homes, it becomes a breeding ground for mosquitoes, allowing them to lay eggs that develop into larvae. Additionally, warm weather further accelerates their growth. To protect themselves from mosquito bites, many people use chemical-based mosquito coils or liquid vapourisers. However, mosquito coils can pose serious health risks, warns Dr Salim, a general physician from Warangal. The smoke from these coils not only drives away mosquitoes but also affects human health.
