The newest way to get an STD

So, as if there wasn't enough fear/anxiety about STD's already, apparently mosquitoes can get you sick now! I feel sorry for any guy (or woman) unlucky enough to encounter a disease this way. Just try convincing the S.O. that it was a bug bite and not you sleeping around which caused you to catch a virus...

thats really crazy but then again everything about this generation is insane
I've always wondered why this wasn't a case before. Their needles (syringes as it was pointed out) penetrates different bodies; it makes sense that they can be carriers of diseases.

Gee, and all this time I thought you could only catch a STD from the toilet seat at the bus station.
I'm bookmarking this one......just in case disaster strikes....can blame it on the MOSQUITOS!

But what would really suck? Not fooling around on the wife....one mosquito bite later...you're being beat up by flying frying pans and purses and kicked out of the house -- and you didn't even at least get to enjoy BBBJ.

I'm struck by the irony that a vector biologist wasn't somehow repelling mosquitos
