    It is written that there are about 3500 species of mosquitos, but not all of them bite humans, and about 170 species in North America. The spreading of disease is mostly done by two species: Aedes aegypti and the Aedes albopictus, the latter of which is commonly known as the Asian tiger mosquito because of its black and white stripes.” (From Fox News article, link below) That article also explains why the bites itch.

    Peace be on you…..Prophets of God are Life Givers because they bring teachings which teach morals and spirituality which connects believers to true source of life Who is God.

I have never been a fan of Mr. Williams, but I think it is horrible that anyone would die by that method.
