And Now Enters the Mosquito by Joseph Parish is a comprehensive guide on protecting oneself from mosquito-borne diseases. The author highlights that southern Georgia has recently declared a health emergency due to an increase in mosquito population caused by flooding. This serves as a warning sign for everyone else who might be at risk.

The book covers several ways to prevent mosquito bites, such as wearing light-colored clothing that completely covers one's body and avoiding scented soaps or lotions when outdoors. Additionally, it provides information about different types of devices available in the market which claim to repel mosquitoes but are often ineffective.

One section of this book focuses on DEET-based repellents which provide short-term protection against most biting insects but can also cause toxicity if used excessively or absorbed through skin contact. The author advises readers to use these products sparingly on children under two months old.

Overall, And Now Enters the Mosquito is an informative read for anyone looking to avoid mosquito bites and stay healthy during peak feeding times when mosquitos are active.
