    Maybe a tad forceful in the rhetoric but I agree with your assessment of the issue. I don’t think we should bully people but rather give them a clearer picture as to the reality of what most impoverished people have to live with on the day to day. Most users here for example are from the US or Europe, where mosquitos and the diseases they carry aren’t anywhere near as prevalent, and I get that impression from reading many of the comments here. Maybe they had bad experiences on occasion, an unpleasant vacation, or a particularly bad summer. But most of them will never see the reality of how in many African nations, Malaria is the leading cause of death. We shouldn’t blame them for their lack of understanding, but rather help educate them.
