Legal Stuff.

A few years ago while walking through my neighborhood with a friend and my dogs we saw a suspicious-looking yellow and black flying creature. In a panic my friend started screaming that it was a murder Hornet and running down the block. It was a beautiful day and everyone was sitting out on their front lawn those who saw her running down the street and heard her screaming started getting up and running with her it wasn't a murder hornet, it was a cicada killer. My friend and I never walk down that block again.

For those who have problems with things such as bedbugs, here's a useful tip: use lavender. Lavender has properties that make it repellant to insects, including bedbugs. For things such as ants, you can also use diatomaceous earth, which can dry them up without hurting people.

I love the way you present information: you add in extra info with pictures, & make it all clear

Y'all forgot to add to the tick part, rocky mountain spotted fever from the deer tick. My son was bitten by a tick in 2002 and contacted rocky mountain spotted fever at the age of 4 and half. He had a fever for 7 days then the rash, he was hospitalized for 5 days to receive antibiotics. He recovered just fine.

As a kid I lived in Key West, Florida in the 50’s for a couple of years. They used DDT to fight off the mosquitoes. Mosquitoes can also be found in the Cascade Mountains in Oregon as well as eastern Oregon.

I'm in Zambia and I can tell you I get bitten by mosquitoes more than 50 times a day, once you stand close to grass they track you down, even in socks they bite and it's very irritating. To a point where I got immunity I last had malaria in 2009.

I'm a pediatric nurse and in medicine "Beetle Juice" is often used to treat molluscum contagiosum (and sometimes warts though cryotherapy tends to be the first choice for them)

Had Dengue fever about 20 years ago, it was a 1-week hell - forget the fever and itching rash
Got a head-splitting headache because of photophobia, my eyes felt they were on a vise, my body felt like someone beat all my body with a baseball bat (that's why Dengue fever is also called "breakbone fever") and all I wanted was to take some pain killer (no aspirin!!) and sleep until it was over - only leaving the bed to go to the restroom and to bath

When I was a little kid, my uncle taught me how to deal with skitters: pinch up the area of skin around where the little bugger is feeding, and then it cannot withdraw it's proboscis and keeps on drinking until it explodes just like in this video. It's very satisfying, though it does leave you with a bit of clean-up after, and you still have the itchy bite to deal with. But at least you can take your revenge beforehand!

We have a species of that blister beetle called "bobo" in northwestern Nigeria. They usually fly around white light at night and are more common during the raining season. If their fluid happens to touch your skin, a blister erupts (I have personally experienced it). And folktale has it that if it falls into any food or drink material, ingesting them proves fatal.

Right now mosquitos are terrorizing me and the buzzing is just terrible. Anyway I just let them bite but this video has totally changed my view on mosquitos.

The way you put in the cartoon Larva was crazy I honestly didnt think any one else knew about that cartoon.

And one thing you forgot to mention about tics that is super disturbing is that you should never try to pull out a tic with your bare hands or swipe it off in disgust after seeing it on you, the reason being that if a tic is pulled away too quickly and imprecisely, its head is so deep in your skin, gorging on your blood, that its head will get torn off inside your skin! 🤢 It will then rot underneath your skin, causing irritation in the area and nasty infections. There are lots of species out there that are bad for us but are vital to the natural ecosystem, but I fail to see how these little abominations serve any positive purpose other than a disgusting snack for desperate animals with nothing better to eat. Would it be safe to say that the world wouldn't lose anything if tics went extinct?

When I was in the Army, standing for hours on end securing a vehicle inside a fenced off security zone, I started naming the bugs that came near me. Yeah, I was that bored. Then a mosquito dropped by and landed on the back of my hand. I watched as it started drinking. Then I clinched my fist tightening the skin on my hand that the mosquito was on. Apparently my skin tightened around the sucker part of the mosquito. It tried and tried to pull out but couldn't and the blood pressure was forcing blood into the skeeter making it swell. Eventually it couldn't hold anymore and POP. It exploded. My eyes grew huge with excitement.

I don't know how many skeeters I popped that day, but it passed the time.

I'd also get some to the point of POPPING and let them go. Some were so full they couldn't fly. They'd sit on me, flapping their wing as hard as they could but were just too heavy.

Ah, good times.

I remember my mom caught dengue fever while she was pregnant with my little brother. We lived in an area where people littered on the road and that caught a lot of mosquitos. Both my mom and my dad were admitted to the hospital immediately and I was sent to live with my grandparents. Thankfully my little brother was ok and he wasnt harmed and both my parents recovered fast. Its so heart breaking to find out that many people around the world didnt make it😭😭 The horrible experience I had with bugs were TICKS soo annoying😤😤😤 I remember after a visit to my grandparents house, I saw something black in belly, at first I thought to was a birth mark but imagine my surprise when I saw LEGS!? I showed it to my mom and she said that it was a tick and that we had to remove it asap. I really didnt get what the big deal was but after my mom told me how dangerous they were I nearly peed my pants. All of these happened while I was in Sri Lanka which is where Im from but I moved to Finland last December and here because of the deadly winter no mosquitos nor ticks are found, not sure when the spring arrives they'll pop out too but I suggest y'all to move here 😐😐

Keep buying equities and investing in cryptocurrencies; Bitcoin will soon reach $100, 000.

I do appreciate it, though I wish he had also warned against pulling a tick straight out- everyone be careful, since ticks are also infamous for having their mouthparts be able to come off and continue infecting the host if the rest of the tick is forcefully removed!

Rumor has it Turkey's earthquake happened right after a mosquito was ended.
