GM mosquitos
I saw on the front page of a newspaper today that scientists (all of them) are doing something to mosquitos to eradicate malaria. I didn't read the article as I was busy buying provisions but I'm pretty up on science and stuff so I guess they're just doing something to mosquito saliva to stop it carrying the malaria parasite. So, my idea is, why not modify their saliva to carry vitamins and stuff and then when they bite us we instantly get one of our five a day?
What do YOU think mosquitos should carry in their saliva?
Also, there was a woman on tv this morning who was in bad shape and had a bowel movement on average once every two weeks for 14 years. Surely you'd think there might be something wrong with your diet?
