Mosquitoes—a menace for hundreds of millions of years. Now, thanks to climate change, their territory is growing and with it, the spread of disease. On this week’s episode of Health Wanted, host Laurel Bristow takes a deep dive into the global impact of these needle-nosed nuisances and the new and creative ways scientists like her guest Gonzalo Vazquez-Prokopec, PhD, are swatting them away. Bristow also answers your questions about the popularity of ZYNs, who should carry Narcan, what the deal is with “Ozempic babies,” if you need to be worried about bird flu in milk or meat, and—of course—the SICK OF THE WEEK.
