Episode Details

How would you prefer
To walk in?
Noticed or unnoticed?
A microbe …
An elephant or a mosquito, none knows?

I am a virgin mosquito
I, recently born …
Am couple of days old, floating bucket of water
Feeling more like in Lake Erie 2me, that is!
Even though, am becoming to my knowns …

Am not like humans at all! Floating in amniotic fluid, I am larva, floating in water
Not a fetus, when it lived, must be taken care of
I develop wings to live and be free …
I pick my victims very carefully, indeed with CO2

I am, am, free like, as all souls; are to be
I hate my family of Cu-li-ci-dae; Culicidae
All, in all with 3,700 species to their name’s
I say, “They all murders, biting victims to death
I don’t like that, I have 2be one with them?

Why, I been destined to kill?
Its now, embedded in my DNA
A curse to all mosquitoes
As they leave its victims
In their death beds!

Like an alien, undisguised! No, I say disguised!
Equipped with specialized nerve cells
“cpA” neurons with a highly specific receptor
To detect CO2
Sensing air human as they exhale
… yes, as they exhale

Examples of mosquitoes
Whom can be named deadly:
Aedes aegypti
Anopheles gambiae
Why I may say, transmit malaria & dengue?

It is an alien trait? … of a tiny living animal thing
Which such, criminality history …
Wherever they endemic, Africa & S. America
Use insect repellents, better yet
Cover your skin humans!

They kill anyone, whom release CO2
Feeding … more feeding on blood
… from outside of hosts
How you may say?
By piecing its mouthparts gaining entry

They’re parasites, with great sight
Known as ectoparasites
They often come
Without noticed
They need no invitations

They come …
For sure, they do
For a quick visit and a meal
Perhaps recent or not …
Surprise, they all want a speedy blood meal

Now out your way
As they make wave
For another victim
When hunger comes, once again
They can sense your perfume of CO2…

Mosquitoes loves, all blood types
However, they hate mine, of A!
Yes, they hate mine type “A”! Why is that?
That’s because Goddess, Minerva stands
In guard … scaring all of them! “Stop her!”

Mosquitoes hate certain odors
Disregarding your underarms
You must tend 2your guns, yourselves repellents
Citronella, eucalyptus, lavender, rosemary,
Peppermint, lemongrass, basil, catnip & oils

Why oils?
Cinnamon, lemon, soybean, tea,
Greek catmint, Peppermint, neem oil
Because, it produces a cool
Effect in the skin, they don’t like to be cool!
It a repellent they feel… to their unwanted needs

They, instead prefers your red-hot blood
Full of CO2 …
They can smell afar from a distance
You call, on to them … with your blood
As rush these suckers enters in
