Are mosquitos really the problem here? I totally hate 'em and I adapt my
behavior to avoid them. From my observations it's pretty clear that the
mosquito "problem" is really a perception thing. Aren't we humans really
the issue here, such as our priorities on where to live and build homes?
(I'm not belittling the West Nile virus threat in any way, though.)
