How to Make a Mosquito Net presents a general discussion about malaria, its treatment and prevention, followed by complete instructions, illustrated with sketches and photographs, for sewing a recommended mosquito net made from cotton sheeting and nylon tulle, written by an experienced textile specialist and twenty-year veteran of life in Africa.
The book explains why this mosquito net design is probably the most effective one for the prevention of malaria as it compares features of all most popular styles. It describes the materials needed, how to calculate yardage requirements to fit any sleeping area, and how to cut, sew and finish the net in simple language anyone can understand and follow.
This book is a "must have" for anyone planning to spend time in any tropical or subtropical country where malaria-carrying Anopheles mosquitoes are present, and it can also be useful for those living in other climates who need protection from any other kind of biting insects or pests.
