Mosquitos!
The first thing that comes to your mind when hearing the word mosquito is probably the itchy annoying bite on your neck. But do you know why the mosquitos want to suck your blood? Scientists have discovered that there is another reason that mosquitos want to suck your blood. Even though they suck your blood to get protein for their babies, the blood you have in your body also works as a cool, and refreshing drink for mosquitos. They tend to be a lot more aggressive if they are dehydrated. Because they lay their eggs in the water, they tend to spread more diseases if the water is polluted. This is why mosquitos want to suck your blood.

They traveled west and went to suburbia, which injected gooey cheese and tomato sauce that we put on our everyday pizza. Since they have so many pizza and so many American pizzerias, they invented the single slice pizza. This enabled hectic operators to eat on the go and could be done a lot quicker. This is how the single sliced pizza was invented.
