| Yet your source doesn't mention open wounds or surface blood at all. Neither does any other source I've looked at. Do you have any source that does support the idea that mosquitoes are attracted to open wounds? This was discussed in a Scientific American article back in 20 June 2017 Are You a Magne... |

| I think we can safely say Bird Flu is a pandemic and has been for a while now. There is nothing in this or other definitions I have looked at the specifies the disease must affect a significant portion of the human population . Bird Flu known as H5N1 is closely related to H1N1 that was once known a... |

| A United Nations food agency warned that the continued spread of the H5N1 bird flu virus is an unprecedented food security risk that requires a coordinated global response. In a briefing held on Monday, the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations cited the loss of hundreds of m... |

| So why not provide cites about mosquitoes being attracted to blood on the surface? Mosquitoes are attracted to their target by several different methods not just one. For example: -- Blood Type -- Carbon Dioxide -- Body Heat -- Sweat -- Skin Bacteria -- Pregnant Women -- Beer Drinkers -- Diet -- Da... |

| I also doubt that mosquitoes are attracted by blood. On 25 September 2019 at 1:50 pm, I wrote on Wrong Planet. Mosquitoes suck, both literally and figuratively. No other animal on Earth is responsible for more human deaths than the lowly mosquito. According to MacLean's, "The general consensus... |

| When H1N1 (formerly called the Spanish Flu) struck and produced a massive die off during the years 1918 and 1919, one of the first things that most people did was to WEAR MASKS. But it didn't help. They died by the millions anyways, they were dropping like flies. Maybe their instincts were related t... |

| It was another cold night last night. The temperatures are currently at 25.3 degrees F. But it was very warm a couple days ago and then the storms hit. Tornadoes appeared out of nowhere and ravaged the U.S. It caused at least 40 deaths across the nation. One hit around 25 miles away in Loogootee, In... |

Bird Flu is on the move in California.
Notice how this dairy farm is almost completely and utterly sealed. Almost nothing can get in and nothing can get out. But if something does break into the facility, then the entire herd can become infected. |

| Transmission Agent. When it was first reported several months ago that cats and mice were dying of bird flu, it immediately brought to mind one other species that must be monitored, RATS . If H5N1 is in cats and mice, then it is also in rats. And if it is in rats then it is present in our major cit... |
