750 million "Robo-Frankenstein" Mosquitoes

But they didn't get into REAL trouble until they started genetically modifying it.
Kudzu and Japanese knotweed introduced to prevent soil erosion, Asian carp to filter pond water, trans fats to replace “harmful” saturated fats, to name a few experiments gone wrong. Yes there have been significant improvements introduced by mankind, but when we intentionally release something into the environment it’s difficult to predict the long term ramifications.
I not informed enough to say if it's good or bad but I have read these tactics being used in south American with good results....the mosquito control they use now were I live is to drive a truck around fogging some form of chemical (permethrin based if I remember correctly) off the back of the truck a couple times a month....pick ur poison.... modified skeeter or breath chemical....if I remember right .....the lab skeeter is male (doesn't bite) and designed to be sterile and die off quick after spreading a bacteria/disease to the female
If the local bat population starts eating the gmo skeeter maybe we'll get us a real life Batman to clean up all the garbage in south fla
Messing with stuff that sucks blood don’t never work out right ,

Death is not God's work. The curse brought disease and mosquitos. This technology seems to help reduce the disease.
Thermacell is a technology to kill mosquitoes just like the genetically modified mosquito. I love that poison that comes off that thermacell. Better than itchy bites. Permethrin is relatively safe for humans. A high LD 50.
Permethrin equals no ticks and no lymes.
Technology at work

Must be the same hole that swallowed my snorkel a few years ago. Not that I miss the thing.
I dove with a Croation immigrant for dozens of dives about 7 years ago and the first thing we had to do was go down 100 ft in the deep hole at Dutch. He would accept nothing else. It's dark down there.
