I never thought I'd miss mosquitoes but here we are.
Mosquitoes can still fuck right off.
I can live with them. Flies on the other hand… even if their removal means a major disruption in the food chain, I’d be on the fence.
Ticks are what I’d be willing to monkey’s paw wish away. My wife’s a park ranger and a few times a week we’re doing full body tick checks.
That sounds like a plus to me.
Hah I'm ashamed to admit that “I’ll check you for ticks” has been jokingly used as a come-on more than once. Although when you do actually find ticks it kills the mood.
