How can Insect Shield impact world health?
As reported by the Disease Control and Prevention Centers (CDC) website, 41% percent of the world’s population lives in areas where malaria is transmitted. Each year, 350–500 million cases of malaria occur worldwide, and over one million people die—mostly young children in Africa. Additionally, Newsweek International raised awareness about the effect of global warming on insect-borne diseases, indicating that temperature increases can extend a mosquito species’ range and result in a longer biting season. Insect Shield technology has the potential to greatly impact worldwide health by offering durable and effective solutions to people whose lives are threatened by insect-borne diseases.
