Mosquitoes are known for more than just being pesky. They can spread disease, too.
Mosquitoes spread malaria, West Nile, and all sorts of other nasty stuff.
Scientists have realized now that mosquitoes have antibodies that shred the genetic code of these diseases when they contract them. Yet, they still spread the stuff to their hosts when they feed.
How come they get a better immune system than us? Hey, what gives?!
Did God do that on purpose?
Anyway, scientists might find a way to create antibodies for people because of the mosquitoes immune system.
It's the least those nasty little pests could do for us.
