There's waves all over the place.

And normally just like the random nature of it has it can't all each other out.

Right.

But if they just all have, you have this massive ocean, the Pacific Ocean is gigantic.

Specific.

And just every once in a while, you have things overlap with each other, then that might make these rogue waves.

Though that's just speculation.

I'm definitely not a marine ocean biologist.

This story, this is from Brazil.

In Brazil, they went to an area where they had just experienced deforestation nearby in the area.

and they took some mosquitoes, and they looked at the mosquitoes' blood that they had sucked out of animals, and they were looking at all the different types of animals that it had been sucked out of, and they found that humans were the number one.

And they think what is happening here is that

As you deforest, then you are taking away food supply, right?

That's the basic idea, obviously.

A mosquito is going to be feeding on whatever mammal it can find, whatever blood it can find, it's going to feed on that.

But if you destroy that habitat, and then humans move in, and humans are the only ones in the area, then mosquitoes are just going to naturally start, they're going to go for you.

So...

The study they did was looking at these various, there was like 50 different species of mosquitoes, and sequencing the DNA of the blood inside them, finding that they're chewing on humans more.

So I think the overall idea here is that we should stop deforestation.

But this is a bigger, the more health-related part of this story is that
