    I encourage all to read this quick article about mosquitoes and Ebola. I guarantee after reading this article you will be as surprised as I will. Immediately when I saw the title of the article I just knew that mosquitoes carried Ebola but in fact they cant. It is said that the mosquitoes have not been able to contract and carry the disease and doctors are trying to find out why. I also learned a bit more about mosquitoes. I had no idea that our blood was used to nourish the mothers eggs and water helped to birth them. I really think this article is a great and quick read.
