Climate Change Just Made Mosquitoes More Dangerous

Mosquitoes, malaria, dengue, Zika, Lyme disease, and global outbreaks; this conversation with a leading medical entomologist breaks down how insects quietly shape human health and why it’s getting worse.

Most people think mosquitoes are just annoying. They’re not.

Some species are engineered by evolution to target humans specifically, and they carry some of the most dangerous diseases on the planet.

In this episode, we go deep into how these insects actually work, how outbreaks happen, and what’s changing globally that most people aren’t paying attention to.

We cover everything from malaria hiding in the liver for decades to why certain people get bitten more than others, and how climate and travel are rewriting the map of disease.

If you’ve ever wondered why mosquitoes seem to find you first… or how close we are to stopping these diseases entirely… this is the conversation.
