Mosquitoes—a menace for hundreds of millions of years. Now, thanks to climate change, their territory is growing and with it, the spread of disease.

Bristow also answers your questions about the popularity of ZYNs, who should carry Narcan, what the deal is with “Ozempic babies,” if you need to be worried about bird flu in milk or meat, and—of course—the SICK OF THE WEEK.
