Watching the news last night I found out that we finally have mosquitoes with the West Nile virus here in Arizona. I know it took us quite a bit longer than the rest of the country, but we're just slow here. Most of you have been living with these infected little bastards for a while now, what's it like? Have you changed your habits or are you doing anything to protect yourself. I remember reading an article about some geneticist who says he can change the mosquitoes dna to make it so that any two mosquitoes who have the change can't reproduce, but if only one of them is changed the offspring will carry the changed gene. Supposedly he can wipe out mosquitoes in something like 7 generations. I don't know about you all, but I say go for it, then he can start working to eradicate cockroaches, scorpions and Canadians. What do you think?
