Podcasts about mosquitos

LaLa shares how her family trip to Florida took a scary turn when her daughter had a severe allergic reaction to mosquito bites and ended up in the ER. Never heard of Skeeter Syndrome? Parents, you'll want to pay attention.  Back home, chaos continues as LaLa juggles last-minute packing for Nashville and gets pulled into a neighbor's impromptu BBQ. Her kitchen lifesaver? The Seal Vax, which helped her marinate chicken in half the time without sacrificing flavor.  LaLa's Nashville recovery plan included one item: Coaqua Coconut Water.  And next up? LaLa's hitting the road again to check out Sesame Place which is one of the most ADA-accessible theme parks in the country.

A chikungunya outbreak in China has infected more than 7,000 people. Chikungunya causes fever and joint pain, but in some cases can be fatal. There is no vaccine or real treatment. Epidemiologist Jason Rasgon, from Penn State University, explains how the disease is transmitted, and why it seems to be spreading to new areas. The chikungunya virus is not currently endemic in Australia. There have been no locally acquired cases, though mosquitoes capable of spreading the virus are present in some areas of Queensland, and travellers can become infected with the chikungunya virus if travelling to a region of the world where chikungunya is found.

In this podcast Richard Lucas interviews Marcus Gibson, author of The Greatest Force: How RAF Bomber Command Became the No.1 Factor in Britain's Total, Destructive Defeat of Nazi Germany (2025) in which he argues that RAF Bomber Command was the No.1 factor in Germany's defeat. Far from being ineffective and too costly, the book argues that the direct and indirect effects of bombing were instrumental in Germany's defeat. Gibson explains his motivations to write the book, argue that the Bomber Command are victims of a great injustice in the received view of their historical role, that the immense sacrifice of the air crews were not in vain, Among points that those interested in WW2 History may not have come across elsewhere was the large scale bombing of military targets, that better pilot training could have saved many lives, that the allies failed to appreciate how much impact bombing German coal mines could have played, and the advantages of the Mosquito over other available aircraft. The case of a re-evaluation of the Dresden raid in comparison to the Soviet assault on Breslau (now Wrocław) is powerfully made and that Churchill, Harris and Portal were largely united in their view that strategic bombing was the right way to take the war to Germany.

Josh Sigurdson reports on the emergency Covid style pandemic mandates being enforced in parts of China as the government reports 7,000 cases of Chikungunya virus, an illness alleged to come from mosquitoes. The illness being reported in the Guandong province of China, specifically Foshan City is leading to forced quarantines and arrests as well as mass fogging of the city with pesticides. The illness carries hallmarks of autoimmune disorders usually caused by things like vaccination. It is interesting to note that China among many other places worldwide have taken part in the use of weaponized mosquitoes in the past. In fact, the US government has what they call "Flying Syringes" which are mosquitoes which are genetically modified and are used via their saliva to inject unsuspecting people with "vaccines." Bill Gates also has an initiative called the World Mosquito Program which releases genetically modified mosquitoes into public areas to "stop pandemics." These mosquitoes have been released throughout Africa causing some major illness outbreaks and have indeed been released on several occasions in Florida. There have also been many tests for mosquitoes vaccinating people for Malaria. Are we seeing yet another weaponization agenda? We know as of recently, Moderna is releasing an aerosol that sprays the food supply with mRNA. There is also now vaccine dental floss which we've previously reported on as well as mRNA meats and vaccines that can be sprayed from planes or put in the water supply. With the fear mongering surrounding Bird Flu, this also gives the state the ability to target the food supply. With the largest pandemic exercise ever, Exercise Pegasus coming in the fall, we should be asking a lot of questions. Are we going to allow them to continue targeting us and our children?

A collection of lab-reared mosquitoes were dumped on Hawaii in June 2025. In 2008 the Gates Foundation paid Jichi Medical University $100,000 “to design a mosquito that can produce and secrete a malaria vaccine protein into a host's skin.” In 2010 Science Magazine online called these mosquitoes “flying vaccinators.” Years later genetically modified mosquitos were released in California and Florida, along with countries like Brazil. The reasoning varies: to stop invasive species, to breed away disease carriers, and to prevent malaria. But when you introduced modified species into a local population then you are introducing invasive species. When you try to limit population numbers you could end up killing all the local population. These experiments have all but failed completely. Besides, Malaria has a standard set of symptoms and most cases in the US and even Japan are from Africa, Southern Asia, and South America. There are virtually no domestic cases and so we know that mosquitos and bacteria do not cause malaria. So what's the point in releasing engineered insects? Perhaps it has something to do with black magic. The Japanese KODOKU and Chinese GU systems of magic involve the use of insects to inflict harm or obtain protection. Poisonous and venomous insects are placed in a container where they fight and die. The last surviving insect is then used to create poisons or protective charms. Consider this: genetically modified insects are released in large contained areas to fight insects carrying serious diseases. They are intended to kill off the local insect populations, at which point the invasive modified insect can be used to inject proteins into the local human population. In other words, this isn't just mad science, it's KODOKU.*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

BEST OF TSTSHOW 1: In 2008 the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation financed Jichi Medical University in Japan to develop “a mosquito that can produce and secrete a malaria vaccine protein.” The initiative was aimed at creating a “flying syringe, to deliver protective vaccine via saliva.” In 2010 they gave money to UK-based biotech company Oxitec to develop genetically modified mosquitoes that could be lethal to carriers of dengue, zika, and yellow fever. Science Magazine published a report that year on this Japanese research and discussed what they called “flying vaccinators.” In 2015 the people of Florida, set to be the Oxitec testing ground, signed a petition against such open-air lab trials. In 2021 the trial proceeded regardless and in April 2022 Nature published a report on the results which found that although mosquitoes died in large numbers there was no reduction in disease spread or need for pesticides, which often cause the very symptoms of the diseases. A few days ago a mosquito-malaria-vaccine trial was carried out in Washington State. Of 14 participants, 7 were diagnosed with malaria leading researchers to declare their mosquito-vaccine was 50% effective. However, they made no mention of how the other half of the group could be exposed to ‘malaria' and yet not develop the disease with its vague ‘symptom complex' list. There is no question why such a malaria vaccine should be tested in the U.S. where cases rarely top 2,000 and where death rarely reaches double digits. Meanwhile, Africa is home to 95% of cases and 96% of deaths, while India is home to most of the world's polio. It is likely these ‘disease' are caused by environment, as demonstrated by official WHO data, rather than tiny invisible particles. While focus has been on the mosquito, the NIH and B&MGF have also been researching a needle-less vaccine. Such research goes back to Spain in 1999 where researchers were able to spread vaccine-induced antibodies to non-vaccinated rabbits via vaccinated rabbits. All was done in natural interaction without needle, misquotes, or any other tool. SHOW 2: Malaria is supposedly on the rise in the United States, where seven cases between Florida and Texas have been reported in the last few weeks. The CDC issued a public health alert as a result and the media collectively is spreading the terror of malaria with graphs, charts, stories, and symptoms. The strange thing is that malaria is always present, particularly in those two states, where in 2012 cases were 102 in Texas and 59 in Florida. Over the years those numbers went up and down, peaking in 2019 and then dropping significantly in 2020. This is why the media can claim cases are on the rise even if they are below the previous decade peak. From NPR to the New Scientist there are, of course, solutions to this terrible outbreak that isn't much of an outbreak: vaccines and genetically modified mosquitoes that could produce antibodies against malaria parasite. However, these same genetically modified insects have been in development since 2008 and were released in Florida after 2015. They were created with money from the B&MGF: “a mosquito that can produce and secrete a malaria vaccine protein.” But what if gm-mosquitoes are another alternative lab-leak theory? Malaria's symptoms are themselves invariably described in the same way that heat stroke symptoms are: headaches, fever, muscle aches, nausea, etc. Any mosquito issue, genetically modified or otherwise, can of course be treated with new drugs and chemicals, like the Pyriproxyfen that caused Microcephaly which was blamed on zika and mosquitos. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

Mosquitoes — these tiny blood suckers can be annoying and drive you away from enjoying the outdoors. But they can also be dangerous. More than 900 cases of tick- and mosquito-borne illnesses were reported statewide last year, including West Nile Virus. As we head into the peak of mosquito season here, we look at how to protect yourself and what may happen as the climate continues to warm.

Story at-a-glance Mosquitoes are drawn to your body's natural scent, heat, breath, and even clothing color, making some people far more attractive to them than others Genetic factors account for about 62% of how attractive you are to mosquitoes, with identical twins showing nearly identical mosquito appeal in lab tests People with type O blood are bitten significantly more often than those with types A, B, or AB, though this doesn't impact how many eggs mosquitoes lay afterward Everyday choices like using scented lotion, wearing red or black clothing, drinking alcohol, or being overheated all raise your mosquito bite risk Plant-based oils like Russian sage and wild mint repel mosquitoes as effectively as DEET in lab studies, offering a safer way to protect yourself without toxic chemicals
