Mosquitos have never been so mortified.
humans too.
i think if you attribute car killings to humans they beat mosquitos by a decent margin.
Maybe? Cars in the US kill like 40,000 people a year; mosquitoes kill like 725,000 people a year
Yeah but 1.35 million die globally from car crashes, far more than mosquitoes kill.
Interesting. That was more than I expected when looking at like China/India/US
That looks like the official number, though. I thought mosquito deaths were being underestimated
Well we have gotten the number down significantly over the last century or so
Yeah, but mosquitoes have a much bigger head start, and we've significantly reduced mosquito related deaths in the last century. Over the last 250,000 years even cars don't come close yet.
