The first mosquito explorer has officially discovered a new island habitable to all mosquitolings. This day marks a big occasion for all mosquito-kind, as this island means paradise. With the recent changes in the environmental and political climate, many mosquitoes have had enough and decided to find a place more livable. 

After three long months and braving five hurricanes, they have finally found it. This new island allowed the mosquitoes a break from the rising heat and hostility in both their environmental and political climates. They enjoyed cooler temperatures year-round and plenty of fresh food — including limited-edition blood flavors previously never tasted. 

One traveling mosquito exclaimed, “EEEEEEeeeeeeeEEE,” clearly excited for this new change in life. 

However, not everyone is too fond of such a discovery. “I was just trying to breathe in the fresh, crisp, wintery air when I inhaled an entire family of five mosquitoes,” Cat Crawford said. 

At press time, masses of mosquitoes were spotted flying out to the island for a chance at a better life.

Most of these pills, however, would remain untouched, left over in the patient’s medical cabinet or kitchen pantries for potential misuse. A team of researchers led by URMC’s Dr. Jacob Moalem set out to reduce these opioid overprescriptions. Read More
