While Oxitec, the manufacturer of these transgenic mosquitoes, initially claimed that they would not […]

(Natural News) Remember the two-year experiment to release genetically modified mosquitoes into the wild to eradicate all the mosquitoes? For years, we were all lectured by scientists and GMO pushers who insisted that genetically modifying male mosquitoes to be infertile would cause the termination of nearly all offspring as females mated with the GMO males. […]

(Natural News) Female mosquitoes rely on sensory information to find their food source – human blood. They pick up on body odor, carbon dioxide, heat, moisture, and visual cues.
