Terminix Fights Malaria with New Mosquito Emoji

Apple recently released more than 70 new emojis, including the world’s deadliest animal, the mosquito. Public health activists hailed the release of the mosquito emoji, which is intended to raise awareness of mosquito-borne illnesses like malaria. Terminix is joining the fight to stop this global health crisis. 

Terminix, in partnership with the United Nations Foundation’s Nothing But Nets campaign, will donate $10 (the cost of one bed net) for every retweet of this tweet up to $25,000. These life-saving nets protect families from malaria-carrying mosquitoes while they sleep and have saved over 6.8 million lives since 2000.
