And you throw it out of your window when it goes bust and let the contents enter the food chain. Beryllium curry or something.
Mosqitoes? Do you use mosquito netting at night? Indians (in Bangalore) are getting stupider by the day by buying cots that do not have the posts to hang up mosquito netting. They have to compensate by using electric anti-mosquito vaporizers that fill the air with insecticide vapor apart from consuming a few watts of heating per hour. They still get bitten and then come down with Malaria and Dengue, creating business for doctors. Dengue is especailly good. It's not even treatable, and can result in death. shiv
