A mosquito factory in Brazil is about to unleash five billion infected mosquitoes across the country for the first time ever.
Is this the beginning of a scifi film or one of the most ingenious bits of science I've come across in a long time.
Spoiler alert, It's the latter.
We all hate mosquitoes, right?
And not for no reason.
On top of being a pure nuisance with their buzzing and itchy bites.
They're actually the deadliest animal to humans.
Literally, they kill more humans than any other creature, primarily through spreading disease.
But before we can understand why scientists would want to make more of them, we should ask ourselves the question.
Couldn't we just destroy them all?
