Kill 'em all!

This attempt to address the disease and misery spread by mosquitos is interesting, and yes, a bit scary.

But since we 'civilized' folk insist that even those poor savages in Africa are better off dying of malaria and dengue than living in a world spoiled by DDT, there is not much choice.

People WILL oppose the little bloodsuckers.

Mozzies. My most enduring memory of Canada - (after the sheer scale of the place, that is).
Nearly drove me bloody mad. Wish I'd known about DEET back then.

Right. Wipe out mosquitoes and you start a domino effect. The little annoying, disease vectors are an integral part of the food chain. When are we going to learn to stop trying to engineer the whole freaking environment? This will not end well.

That said, :pop:

If the world can live without the dodo, t-rex and george bush then it can surely manage without mosquitos? :crumple:

I spend a lot of time trying to help the world recover from one "kill 'em all" era. Last night in the rain, in a pitch black night, freezing my ass off, I heard a wee bit of that effort echoed back at me. My "kill 'em all" days are long over.
