Invasive "ankle-biter" mosquitos plaguing Southern Californians https://t.co/leWqYAQv9J

No word in this CBS piece about Bill Gates GMO mosquitos. Here are only worries are "yellow fever, dengue and Zika, but they haven't been linked to the West Nile Virus, which has been located in Los Angeles County in 2022."
While more invasive, Aedes are poor fliers, hence the "Ankle-Biters" nickname. Most Angelenos will have noticed that the majority of their bites are on their legs, since they hover above the ground.
Aedes have been known to transmit diseases like yellow fever, dengue and Zika, but they haven't been linked to the West Nile Virus, which has been located in Los Angeles County in 2022.
While irritating, officials don't consider the bloodsuckers to be an immediate cause for concern, and in the meantime are advising residents to stock up on bug spray and hope for cooler weather, as they traditionally stick around until the end of October.
