Mosquitos are pollinators. And in some parts of the world that have extreme seasons that can't sustain bees, they seem rather important to the ecosystem.
Instead of eradicating them, genetically engineering away the numbing in their saliva that causes the allergic reaction in humans could be a solution.
I'll trade a couple weeks of itchy bites for a briefly painful bite any day.
Sure, humans would kill them instantly on feeling the bite, but most animals are not capable of that. Their populations would be fine.
You think people want to extinguish mosquitoes because they bite is annoying?!
That's why i want every mosquito to burn a thousand deaths. They absolutely feast on me
Preventing the spread of disease is just a happy side effect
Mosquitos kill more humans than any other thing on this planet. Including humans killing humans.
Aww does the wittle baby not want to die of mawaria?
uwu siwwy widdle babies
I want both of you to burn on a pile of burning tires, then I want a furry to nail me to a cross with the other profligates cause I had no problem translating and understanding what you two said.
While your comment is correct, the original goalpost set two comments ago was solely about itchy bites. The person you replied to was replying to that, so
Yeah but they were ignoring the actual reason humans want mosquitos gone.
It's not just because the bites are annoying it's because they kill more people than literally any other thing on the planet.
Yes I know that, and that's what every other comment is about too. This one more as well
