The black leggings fashion is by far something that is worth paying for. Even though a lot of young teenagers prefer them and buy them in big quantities, they do not know what they expose themselves to.

The Thai government has recently discovered that wearing black leggings is bad for your health. The thing is that it triggers young teenagers to catch some potential deadly mosquito – borne illness.

According to the Deputy Public Health Minister Phansiri Kulanartsiri, the mosquitoes that exits there  are known as attracting darker colors. “The mosquitoes can bite through the leggings’ thin fabric, so those who wear them are at greater risk of being infected with dengue.”

The dengue fever is an acute febrile disease that can usually occur in the tropics and it is life threatening. It is a fever that can be very painful and that is why it is known as breakbone fever. Dengue is just as prevalent in the urban districts as it is in the rural ones.

According to the World Health Organization, around 2.5 billion people are in danger of taking this fever and is estimated that around 50 million cases of infection will be met worldwide every year. It is now an existent disease in more than 100 countries.

In Thailand it is on the rise and this year it is estimated that there were more than 43 deaths and more than 43,000 infections in the first part of the year11

    One more thing. I really believe that there are lots of travel insurance web sites of reputable companies that permit you to enter your holiday details and have you the estimates. You can also purchase an international travel insurance policy on the internet by using your credit card. Everything you should do is always to enter all your travel information and you can be aware of the plans side-by-side. Only find the program that suits your finances and needs after which use your bank credit card to buy it. Travel insurance online is a good way to check for a respected company with regard to international travel insurance. Thanks for revealing your ideas.
