Send a Warning to the African Mosquito Population

To the African Mosquito Population,

It has come to our attention that your species has been wreaking havoc in many African countries. Not only have you been breeding out-of-control, but many of your species have been spreading the parasite plasmodium. Plasmodium causes malaria, and for us humans, it can be deadly.

In fact, your handiwork causes more than one million children in Africa to die every year. You can lay up to 200 eggs at one time, but we humans may only have a few children in our entire lifetime.

So, in all fairness, we wanted to send you a warning. We've come up with an easy and cost-effective way of keeping you away from our families at night: long-lasting, insecticide-treated bed nets. Hung properly around a child's bed, bed nets will prevent you from landing and biting. Not only that, but the insecticide will knock you dead.

You've been warned. The UN Foundation and Nothing But Nets are going to cover an entire continent with bed nets, and I'm joining the fight.

Sincerely,

[Your name]
