Let’s face it mosquitos are fuc*ing irritating and they Suck (literally). I want to know what would happen if mosquitoes went extinct, how would it change the nature.
PS: If you have any LiFe HaCk to getting invisible to mosquitos please share (in a group of 10 people and 10 mosquitos, I’ll get 10 bites and others none)
In: Biology
Long story short, there would be no downside to a man-made extinction of human-biting mosquitoes and the only reason we haven’t achieved it is that they’re such efficient parasites that modern science hasn’t found a way yet.
People are going to swarm this question (pun intended) with half-assed answers about how they’re important pollinators, or that another insect would fill their niche, or how fish would starve to death, but science says that they’re invasive species in every region that humans currently populate.
If we could wipe out the nuisance species, nature would return to a pre-existing equilibrium, and would be healthier because the species filling the vacuum wouldn’t be disease vectors.
As for invisibility, the best thing is DEET, however it causes skin irritation, and may or may not be a human carcinogen.
