That is the same as saying its not the snake that kills you its the poison. Mosquitos do have something to do with Malaria as they carry it, willingly or not. I live in Houston where there are plenty of mosquitos and plenty of mosquito related illnesses/Deaths each year.(West Nile, Bird Flu) Mosquitos are a serious nuisance, and to top it off I am pretty allergic to the bites, mine swell up and itch pretty severely. I would love to see more research put into controlling these things. Regardless of the fact that they are unwitting carriers of Malaria and other disease, they deserve more attention for eradication. Hopefully in a way that doesn't involve blanketing an area with pesticide...

Well, the difference is Malaria is a kind of living being in itself, it uses mosquitos to spread. On the other hand, poison is produced by the snake, and the snake uses it to survive.

>>mosquitos have nothing to do with Malaria

?

If you get rid of the mosquitos you get rid of most of Malaria.

Yes, and if you get rid of humans, you get rid of wars, but the majority of humans don't wage war today.

> Malaria kills people, not mosquitos

You know, when people say "falling isn't dangerous, it's the sudden stop at the end," it's supposed to be a joke, not a serious proposal.

I've been bitten by mosquitos hundreds of times, I'm still alive. Why is that, if mosquitos are so deadly?

Ah. You're actually just trolling, aren't you.

Too obvious, man. The idea is to pretend to be obtuse, not too dumb to breathe. It gives the game away.
