Dengue mosquito bite

2018-10-06 08:39:28
I am concerned regarding a possible dengue mosquito bite yesterday. It was quite black and not sure about white stripes. Not very large also. Had it been a dengue mosquito, what can I do if I don't want to fall ill as early as possible?

Don't worry one single bite will not harm you if your immunity is strong.There are many factors for transmission of disease not just a bite of mosquito.
