Zitat des Tages über Moskito / Mosquito:
I'm like a mosquito, I love humidity. I don't sweat.
I was nicknamed Skeeter in Little League because I was small and fast, like a mosquito flying across the outfield.
I see myself as a roving mosquito, choosing it's target.
Know that the tiger mosquito - Aedes albopictus - sometimes spreads viruses that spread like Zika, so it may be able to spread Zika.
I certainly know all about the Jersey jokes that amuse the rest of the country. You've probably heard them. Our state bird is the mosquito. Our state tree is dead. It doesn't help that we are represented on television by Tony Soprano and 'Jersey Shore.'
Places like Hilton Head, with water adjacency and nice climates, are in high demand, and land values are insane. In the case of Hilton Head, which was developed in 1970 on what had been a mosquito- and alligator-infested swampy barrier island, land value has leaped from nearly zero to now unaffordable.
If a mosquito has a soul, it is mostly evil. So I don't have too many qualms about putting a mosquito out of its misery. I'm a little more respectful of ants.
The way Zika spreads is primarily through the bite of the Aedes aegypti mosquito in places that don't have screens and air-conditioning.
I have the attention span of a mosquito from multitasking and all the things that have affected my poor little brain.
Anyone who thinks that they are too small to make a difference has never tried to fall asleep with a mosquito in the room.
To me, there is nothing more soothing than the song of a mosquito that can't get through the mesh to bite you.
The belief is growing on me that the disease is communicated by the bite of the mosquito... She always injects a small quantity of fluid with her bite - what if the parasites get into the system in this manner.
The best blood will at some time get into a fool or a mosquito.
I did my best work in The Mosquito Coast. I know it wasn't such a big hit, but for me it was more meaningful than anything else I'd ever done.
Pregnant women who are in places where Zika is spreading should do everything they can to avoid mosquito bites. And we, as a society, need to do everything we can to control Zika. That means learning more about it; that means controlling mosquitoes more effectively. That means achieving a vaccine.
If you think you're too small to have an impact, try going to bed with a mosquito.
