True, but from what I’ve read, virtually all mosquitoes don’t bite people. You can wipe out the 1% or less of the ones that do without significant environmental impact since the things that eat mosquitoes aren’t choosy about which ones so you really are just reducing their available food by like 1%, and even some of that will probably be backfilled by other species of mosquitoes since the ones that bite people don’t only bite people.

Different take: be afraid of death. When I’m driving I’m afraid of crashing into the other cars. I don’t obsess over it, but a healthy fear is a good thing. Fear is not intrinsically bad, and some things are scary and that’s okay as long as that fear doesn’t rule you
