I think I said this before but the state should put massive solar powered bug zappers near wetlands all over the state. The biggest argument to this was who's going to clean them, I say the bugs would just burn off.
I was wondering about the mosquito thing too. Was listening to a radio show and the dr they had on said it can’t be transmitted through blood, only mucus membranes so it shouldn’t be a problem.. not sure how much faith I have in that though.I also wonder about black flies and gnats as they’re all up in your face.Getting my antibody test Thursday so hopefully will be able to worry about crap like that less
They found that just 4.1% of the insects killed in the bug zappers were female (and therefore biting) mosquitoes. May 28, 2019
We don't need to spread more chemicals across the environment or use zappers that kill more bugs than mosquitoes. Just use one of the many ways to keep them off you. I often use a head net to keep them off. I spend more time than most outside at the times of day they are the most active and I rarely get bit and when I do, it is because I did not do what I know I should have done. I fall in the let's do nothing group... As for bug zappers here is what a quick google search found;Over 95% of the Zaps you hear are killing other insects... Let not cut off our face to spite our nose.
This thread brings up a thought....how horrible must it be for a germaphobe now.
