As a Floridian I say give it a try since I have a mosquito problem year around.

Come around at dusk if you think they aren’t a problem.

I believe the mosquito that carries those viruses is common here in Florida.

The US has enemies.

Liberals and their theories are like that video of the chimp with a machine gun.

Same in Thailand.

A lot of us expats say that it's not a matter of IF we get dengue, it's a question of WHEN. In the jungle areas nearby Myanmar and Cambodia, add Malaria to that equation.

Aedes aegypti, the yellow fever mosquito, is a mosquito that can spread dengue fever, chikungunya, Zika fever, Mayaro and yellow fever viruses.
I was unaware these diseases exist in the USA.”

With our open borders we are bringing in al the third world diseases.

lol… Believe me, that book is not when you would read the little kids. I was about 10 when I read it, and it was pretty nightmarish. The entire first half of the book is devoted to this miniaturized human learning to survive in a completely alien hostile world in his own estate garden. The second half Is concerned with what happens when you meet up with a Russian agent that was miniaturized as well and his team of assassins…

One of the most amazing stories I’ve ever read.

Zika (Conehead) was brought into the US when people went to the Brazil Summer Olympics and returned.

Here’s the documentary(/s) on this sort of thing. I found it amusing, even if it is a Troma production.

“Mosquito-Man”

Down on his luck and unlikely hero, Jim Crawley is having the worst day of his miserable life. He decides to end it all and even fails at that. An improbable event changes everything and he becomes a half man/half creature.

For example one brief, fabulous, rainbow summer, the mosquito swamps will be like the San Francisco Tenderloin District.

IMHO gene drives should only be used in the most extreme of circumstances. If altered animals get back to their native habitat it could mean extinction. Take out too many species from an ecosystem you could be inviting environmental collapse.
