Did You Know that Mosquitoes Have 47 teeth?

According to Isaac Asimov's Book of Facts, the average mosquito has 47 teeth.

The mouth part of a mosquito is called a proboscis containing a fascicle with cutting edges(stylets). It is made up of 6 main parts with 4 sets of sharp cutting forms and 2 tubes. 

The author Asimov referred to as "teeth" are actually 47 cutting edges(stylets) analogous to animal incisors.  The stylets pierce the skin of animals and humans for the tubes to gain access. There are 2 tubes, one is for injecting the anticoagulant and the other for sucking the blood up.

Coconut Water Can be Used as Substitute for Blood Plasma

  Coconut tree is called tree of life because of the many products and by-products it can provide from its different part. Its fruit can provide you food, water, source of oil and can serve as flotation device, but do you know that the water from a young coconut fruit can be used as substitute (in emergencies) to Blood Plasma?

Coconut water (not the milk) is the purest liquid only second to water. It is a very potent source of electrolytes and natural sugar. It is also isotonic and its pH is also quite similar to human blood.

In fact during wartime this procedure is commonly observed, many soldiers survived because of emergency transfusion using coconut water as substitute for intravenous plasma.

Blood plasma is straw-colored liquid component of our blood in which blood cells are suspended. It is 93% water and 7% dissolved proteins, glucose, clotting factors.. etc.

Another reason to call the coconut tree the TREE OF LIFE!
