Diseases are not the only danger to humans from mosquito’s. About a year or so ago I became ill and my weight dropped from 195 down to 165 over the space of a few months. To make a long story short they eventually found a mass in my left lung and it looked like I might have lung cancer. I had surgery to remove the tumor and when they dissected it they found the mass was encapsulating two dead heartworm larvae. I researched the subject and found a couple of cases where the worms had grown to adulthood in humans.
