BREAKING: Google is planning to release 32 million mosquitoes across Florida and California.
The company has asked the EPA for permission to proceed, with the public given until June 5 to respond.
The mosquitoes are infected with Wolbachia bacteria, which stops them from reproducing and slowly collapses the wild population from within.
Google's previous Debug Project trial in California's Central Valley nearly eliminated mosquitoes from three test sites entirely. A separate trial in Singapore cut dengue cases by 70% within 12 months.
Google has now released over 1 billion mosquitoes across four continents. This new proposal is the largest deployment in US history.

Look at this number: 3,200,000,000,000.
That's how many planets exist in our galaxy alone.
If you tried to count them — one per second, every second, never stopping — it would take you over 100,000 years.
That's just in one galaxy.
There are 2 trillion more galaxies.
