    Then why exterminate the Guinea Worm? Because they are a horrifically devastating parasite that has caused suffering, death, and pain due to its existence, and it’s elimination has increased the quality of life significantly across the world in habitats it once thrived.

    I also don’t fault you, but a moral argument about the “rights of the mosquito”, feel like a slap in the face to the millions in the global south that suffer from the effects of mosquitos. We are more then justified in exterminating an insect for the betterment of humanity. I value human life more then something that is barely an animal and little more intelligent then a virus.
