Is it better to let a mosquito finish?
Is it better to let a mosquito finish? Flick! After a tragedy involving a Pennsylvania woman and a new scientific report based on her experience, a number of experts now suggest resisting the urge to smack a mosquito because doing so can inject a disease-causing fungus into the bloodstream.
What would happen if mosquitoes went extinct?
Without mosquitoes, thousands of plant species would lose a group of pollinators. Adults depend on nectar for energy (only females of some species need a meal of blood to get the proteins necessary to lay eggs). Yet McAllister says that their pollination isn’t crucial for crops on which humans depend.
What would happen if all humans went extinct?
If every human disappeared, homes would decay, animals would fend for themselves, and cities would revert back to nature. There would be no more pollution or hunting, but also no more farms or pets. Scientists would be able to find evidence of humans after 15-20,000 years.
