You may have heard this before, David, but the number one most deadly animal on the planet is mosquitoes.

Shark.

Yes, but the mosquito is really good at spreading disease.

And I guess we are too.

But mosquitoes are responsible for just a variety of viruses and diseases that spread from human to human.

They spread it

really really fast and in a really dangerous way so having a sense of how they're feeding on us is a is good to have and seeing that they are now increasing their at least in this one place this one place in brazil they're they're now increasing it this is something we need to think about for the future so the next time you want to fly down to brazil with your axe listener to chop down the rainforest maybe don't do that it's my advice to you see practical takeaways for people we're having on this show you've ruined my weekend plans

This is such a cool question.

And I took it to think about, you know, us getting to Alpha Centauri as well.

So I was doing some digging on this.

So one thing that came to mind first was that there are animals that can do this.

And so there's already amphibians, I believe frog, there's certain species of frogs that live in areas that freeze and they can be frozen into ice during the season changing and then re-thaw and like thaw in the spring and they're good to go.

They just hop away.

And this has to do with their biology, has to do with their blood and the type of sort of anti-freeze stuff they have inside there.

But that is not an easily scalable thing to something as complex as a human.

However, I did find, as I was looking into this, that there are companies that offer... You can actually say, if you want to preserve your body for future diagnosis and future saving yourself, so say you pass away now, but due to something that hasn't been solved yet, like some sort of disease or virus or whatever...

That's exactly what I was going to say.

I was like, this does not sound like something that's worth putting your money into.

But they talk about it.

So I was reading the websites and I was reading some of the science behind it.
