Don't mosquitos need a warm climate to thrive? How do they survive in a place like the Arctic?

Because Malaria only kills poor people and god hates poor people.

guys until you've had to do outdoor work in northern ontario you can gently caress off with any bug stories

I've worked in Malaria-endmic regions of Africa. So you can gently caress off with your bug stories too.

yheah your bugs can kill you but if there's as many as there are in northern ontario I'd be suprised. we're talking tens of thousands of square kilometres composed of nothing but lakes and swamps.

And that's the difference between rich countries that can afford to do mosquito fogging on massive scale and poor countries where standing water can be a death trap.

yes they're fogging northern ontario. an area the size of france and germany put together with the total population of rhode island


you lunatic

How far do you think mosquitoes fly to feed exactly? Here's a hint: it certainly isn't an area the size of Germany and France combined. Which is why fogging is so effective in preventing the spread of mosquito-born disease in populated places.

If you want to go wandering around in the wilderness of northern Ontario and you happen to get Malaria, well that's on you.

That's not an accurate statement, but you're right about one thing. This conversation is stupid. So I tip my hat to you, sir. You've bested me with your gooniness.
