I just killed a mosquito. It tried to bite me, so I killed it. And if I see another i will kill that one too. So if you are a mosquito, stay away from me for your own sake.
did the blood splatter everywhere?
What happened to all your mosquito eaters?
I thought they were your “shomrim?”

Wrong! Al Pi Rov – the insect just wants a drop of BLOOD! Most of them don’t carry WNV.
safeik nafashos lhakeil 🙂
there’s an article in the features section of the hamodia about mosquitos
Since mosquitoes are full of human blood, I think one should be careful not to spill…
The mosquito is clearly coming to assault its victim. It therefore is a rodeif!
oomis,
in the article it states that only the females bite, so you don’t know if it’s male or female until it lands on you
In the almost 8 years since we made aliyah, I’ve killed two scorpions and two tarantulas in the house.
Oomis – WB.
And since when did you join the silly side of the CR?
lf,
don’t you eat mosquitos for breakfast?
I sincerely hope NOT! (can’t really tell around here, the place is swarming..)
And I’m REALLY in a mood of changing my screen name…

I have a Shaila – can you kill a mosquito on Shabbos, because it might have WNV?
health,
like i said before only the females bite (and therefore transmait wnv) so there’s a sfeik sfeika over here a safeik if it’s a female and if it is a female a safeik if it has wnv so you can’t kill it
CA – if it lands on you, there is only one Safek.
The Rashbo holds in teshuvos (brought down by the Remo Yoreh Deoh Siman Kuf Yud and also see Chasam Sofer in Shitas Rashi Kesubos Beis) that if there is a way of finding out we don’t say sfek sfeika. Are there any signs if they are males or females?

Health: It would depend on how many carry WNV, probably. If I’m in Panama, though, it’s for sure Muttar.
See the Shulchan Aruch on trapping bees. According to the M”B it’s Muttar even if you know it’s not diseased. According to the Aruch HaShulchan, it might be Assur.

You just contradicted yourself! It might be Muttar even acc. to the AH. Sofek Nefushos!
health,
why can’t a male rest on someone
CA – “health, why can’t a male rest on someone”
It could, but Not enough to make it a Sofek!
BS”D
according to tinymosquito.com “it is impossible to tell the physical differences between male and female mosquitoes with the naked eye”
