Like it’s their food. Just poison the supplies and they die out. Of course I don’t think it’ll take much, and we humans should be fine with it. It just makes too much sense

You want to run your blood into poison? With a ton of research, maybe we could develop something that turns your blood poisonous to those bugs but not to your body, sure, but what would be the point of investing all that time/money (while conducting potentially unethical experiments) when we already have a way to deal with those bugs?
