The World Within You is Waiting Without You

Mosquitoes breed anywhere there is standing water.

This seemingly insignificant indentation in the sidewalk on 5th Avenue in Manhattan has been filled with dirty stagnant water for several days.

Mosquitoes will find this and begin to lay eggs, which will hatch into larvae and grow into adult mosquitoes.  The adults will then start to feed on the blood of human beings and start the process of procreation all over again.

The largest organ of the human body is the skin, which unfortunately is irritated when a mosquito feeds on it.  This irritation leads to the human scratching the area where the feeding took place.  Unfortunately, the mosquito who fed on the human also defecated on the human, and when the human scratches that area the mosquito's fecal matter enters the incision where the feeding took place.  This leads to various diseases, such as those associated with the Zika virus, infecting the human.

The stagnant water above covers an areas that is 5 inches by 5 inches.  That is enough of a breeding site to produce hundreds if not thousands of mosquitoes.

It's going to be a long summer.

Ew York City will be back sometime soon.
