For travelers preoccupied with relaxing and having fun in Belize, the topic of mosquitoes, bugs and insects is not likely to be at the forefront of their brains. Malaria-carrying mosquitoes are night owls while dengue fever carriers are out during the day, so protecting yourself 24/7 is essential. Truth is, mosquitoes can do more harm to humans than these tiny bugs that also breed in wet, sandy areas, and if you scratch these you’ll be sorry. You’ll be happy to read that Belize spiders are scared of humans and they have no desire to bite them. And if you are bitten, stop, don’t run or the venom will travel through your system at the speed of a rocket.
