    It’s Australia. They have “rare” shark attacks too so maybe the word has some leeway.

          Y’all both need to recalibrate your threat assessment values. Mosquitos have killed more humans than hyenas or humans have, at least for now. Humans are certainly catching up

            Well, actually, they’re just the vector. The real killer is the microbe.

              Tell me exactly how you’re gonna protect yourself from said microbe, without protecting yourself from mosquitoes?

              I assume you aren’t talking about hyenas since they just crushed our (hominids) spines and skulls with their teeth for a few hundred thousand years.

                Some have vaccines. Others have medicines you can take prophylactically.
