Kayla Socarra, a researcher at Drexel's Center for Advanced Microbial Processing, told Fox 2 that she was “scared” by the number of ticks, mosquitos, and other blood-sucking creatures that are not dying out during the mild winters:

“These ticks and mosquitos are having a field day of sorts. [...] Bugs can move into new climates and new places where originally they would have never survived because of warmer temps and increased food supply for them they're surviving quite easily.”

Absolute unadulterated bull chit! If you want to see phenomenal numbers of ticks and mosquitoes there's no place like the Arctic Circle where the winters are long and the temps are well below zero.

Unpossible!

But, too true, lol. I couldn’t believe the number of mosquitoes in Alaska. The sound is incomprehensible to someone who hasn’t heard it. I think that’s what started my tinnitus!

If 60 below (-140 with windchill) didn’t kill them, I kinda doubt any weather will.
