Well I said elsewhere that they should probably skip the humans since it is so different, but I got pretty well downvoted. Malaria is almost exclusively spread

Well I said elsewhere that they should probably skip the humans since it is so different, but I got pretty well downvoted. Malaria is almost exclusively spread by mosquitos, so there is a certain logic to saying "mosquitos kill a lot of people." But you are right that most times you are bitten by a mosquito, it is nothing but a minor annoyance. It's a bit different from a lion. Some people include deer in such charts, because people die by crashing their cars into deer. But that is pretty different too.
