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.
@AndyHermanNFL Iโm guessing it has to do with all the hype Hackett got with the Gold Zone and how good they were that year. We never hear anything like that with Steno. And he gets like 1 OC interview each offseason? Not like other teams desperately want him their offense.
