People die from mosquito borne illnesses all the time. Anything from malaria to blue nile disease. How many mosquitos does it take to spread the disease to a person to kill them?

Also if you are going past a mosquito infested site and there are 20000 mosquitos how many of them have the poison in their system to kill someone?

  1. just one infected mosquito .that means you can be bitten by millions of mosquitos but if non of them carried the virus then you shall be ok but you can be bitten by one mosquito that carries the mallaria causing virus and you might die if not treated soon enough


  2. Single one.

  3. Well, if one mosquito has malaria, that's all it's going to take to give you malaria or any other mosquito born illnesses.

    But it's not going to kill you-I think you're likely to notice that you have malaria or whatever.

    In the undeveloped world malaria kills because they don't have the medical care to treat it.

    But malaria carrying mosquitoes aren't common outside of Africa and countries like that. I know where we live a few years ago there was talk of malaria carrying mosquitoes being found-but not a sort that could be transmitted to humans.
