Why Mosquitoes Are The Deadliest Insect On Earth

Mosquitoes take out approximately 725,000 people every year—more than snakes (100,000), humans (400,000), and sharks (10) combined. This tiny 2.5-milligram insect is responsible for more human deaths than lions, bears, crocodiles, and every other dangerous animal combined. But mosquitoes don’t take you out directly. They’re vectors—living syringes that transmit deadly pathogens from person to person. Malaria alone took out 597,000 people in 2023, with nearly 263 million cases across 83 countries. Most victims are children under 5 in sub-Saharan Africa. This video explains why mosquitoes are so deadly, how they find you from over 30 feet away, and what makes them nearly impossible to eliminate.
