Today's travel tip

Should you find yourself in a mosquito infested area with no proper window screening or mosquito netting, you can use a sheet tucked in around the sides, and then wrap the top around your head like a mummy sleeping bag so that only your nose and mouth are exposed for breathing. This will not eliminate bites altogether, but will greatly reduce your exposure and at least allow you a semi-decent sleep. Not great in really hot climates, but it's a trade-off between comfort and malaria.
