That's like saying California is dangerous because it has earthquakes, never mind that only a sliver of California along the coastline is the dangerous part. I'm sure that the entire state of Florida isn't uniformly blanketed with mosquitoes.
While I agree with your premise in broad theory... I lived in Florida for a couple years.. And it IS uniformly blanketed with mosquitoes.
Where there aren't tidal swamps, there are fresh water wetlands, and where there aren't fresh water wetlands, there are drainage ditches full of water. And the mosquito's are big enough to qualify for figher-escort from the Navy in Jacksonville...
