Mosquito-repellent newspaper ink? Genius in marketing, but will it make any difference to the transmission of dengue and other mosquito-borne agents of disease? Probably not at all. But, perhaps this odd ploy will encourage readers to learn how else they might reduce their risks. For instance, in the video, one reader is flanked by automobile tire casings. Tire casings collect water and often serve as major developmental habitats for many of the most dangerous mosquitoes. Let us hope the reader learns how to cover tires to prevent them from filling with water. That would demonstrate more power of the press.
