I hate those little bastards
After encountering blackfly in Strasbourg last year and having legs covered in blistered bites I don’t have as much hatred for the tiger mosquito, at least the reaction to those bites is minimal
Oh yeah, there’s definitely worse
Still hate them
A tiger mosquito?
Science has gone too far.
We are having an explosion of dengue cases in Latin America propagated by that mosquito, it is not a nice disease and immunity doesn’t really work, depending on your luck. Good luck everyone!
Heck, the invasion of Normandy 2, electric boogaloo
Is it still being implemented? This awesome article is from 2022.
I just tried to look for newer hits, but I keep getting articles from 2022 (though several from Nature)
I wish that anti-mosquito laser was on the market
Looks like I’m eating crow, thanks for the article. Looks like I have to call my vet and pediatrician since it’s been getting warmer around here.
Another reason to stay the hell away from fr*nce
Edit: every time I think people are smart enough to get a joke I get proven wrong
What other reasons are there?
French people are reason #1
It’s just a joke.
Yeah I thought the censoring of France was a dead giveaway
I guarantee the people downvoting you are the same numb nuts that refuse to use /s.
To clarify the joke for people, it’s not about any legitimate hatred of France, it’s the same type of banter you’d use when talking about a rival sports team.
The English and Scots hate eachother and make jokes at eachothers expense all the time, but in reality it’s actually much more like a friendly rivalry between brothers.
Maybe Americans don’t get it because they don’t really have any friendly rivals, just people that legit hate them /s
fr*nce
fucking lmao
