Mosquitoes are a common nuisance in Hungary, particularly in the Fertő-Hanság National Park. The wetlands and marshy areas of the park provide ideal breeding grounds for these pesky insects, leading to high populations during the warmer months.

In addition to being a nuisance, mosquitoes in the Fertő-Hanság National Park can also pose a health risk. Mosquito-borne diseases such as West Nile virus and Sindbis fever are present in Hungary, with the potential to be transmitted by infected mosquitoes in the park.

Visitors to the Fertő-Hanság National Park are advised to take precautions to protect themselves from mosquito bites, such as using insect repellent and wearing long sleeves and pants. It is also important to be aware of the symptoms of mosquito-borne diseases and seek medical attention if any are experienced.
