In fact, for three or four decades--even back in 1988, when there were more than 10,000 reported cases of dengue fever--these mosquito catchers have always gone into epidemic areas literally with their bare hands. Carrying only netting and a suction tube, they have always used their own bodies to attract their prey.
的確，三、四十年的抓蚊工夫了，即使在登革熱疫情最猖狂、上萬名病例湧現的民國七十七年，他們不也是赤手空拳奔赴疫區，拿著一張掃蚊網、一支吸蚊軟管，憑著自己的肉身誘蚊上鉤嗎？
