You're wrong all the time Hero...jeez. Like Bevo said I voted for the South with my feet and really enjoy living in the capitol of the old Confederacy. BTW it was a Fox report that pointed out the least educated states were the southern trumpy 'base' states. All such educational level surveys/reports from all sources pretty well agree on that.

State level analysis seems awfully broad. Better analysis probably can be gotten from at the city or zipcode level. E.g., city of baltimore - where 0% (ZERO) of student can read or do math at grade level.

Nothing funny about it. I see a report where IQs in the US are dropping...not surprising where IQ is a measure of one's ability to reason, when critical thinking and reasoning are no longer taught at our educational institutions. Studies show, with very few exceptions that more highly educated people are, the more liekly they are to fall for hokum or malarkey, like flat earth, chem trails or lizard people.

Lol.
Hen, when you stick your leg out of your car and see your blue jeans turn BLACK with mosquitos, you can talk about them not being a problem and how Del and Md are comparable.
Until then … I laugh at your silly comments

Are you a little surprised, Bevo, to learn that New York, Washington DC., Chicago and Los Angeles each have more of a mosquito problem than any Texas cities ? Are you surprised to learn that Montana has more of a mosquito problem than Mississippi, S.Carolina and Arkansas ? Lots of silly silly researchers out there, don't you think ? provenrepellent.com/the-worst-cities-and-states-for-mosquitoes-in-the-u-s/ Anyway, sure I over estimated Del & Md based on being eaten alive up there. Here in the mountains my house is located about 3600 ft in elevation with a 1/4 acre pond in the yard and still zero mosquitos...no kidding. Very fortunate. I see more Black Bears than mosquitos.

Lol. Hen. You’re too funny
You can find lots of pure crap on the internet and you’ve found a load here. At least, they got the top three states right; Texas, Florida and Louisiana. But that city list is laughable.
Atlanta?? Lol. I lived in Georgia for 2 years. They HAVE mosquitos, yes.. but they’re nothing close to as bad as Houston. Dallas doesn’t have mosquito problems. That’s nuts. And LA??? Give me a break.
I know other people have mosquitos, and they’re always annoying. In Michigan, they’re as big as a quarter. Scares me to death.
They’re not bad in most parts of Texas. Certainly not in Austin or San Antonio. But along the gulf coast, where they breed in the salt marshes? You can see black swarms of them. Prisoners that escape from the work farms turn themselves back in after one night, after being eaten.
They have taxing authority to run Mosquito districts to spray to try to control them. And, of course, in Clute, Texas they have the infamous Mosquito festival. 🤗
Nowhere I’ve been are they worse than on the coast of Texas, near Freeport.

Yes, Bevo, you indeed "can find any crap on the net" (you want)......like your fringe right conspiracy stuff you find and buy....heeeee. Anyway those mosquito 'rankings' are between you and the source of that research. Its an insect repellent company so I can see that there might be some skepticism I don't know how this thread got from 'worst states to live in ' to most mosquito infested but I guess I might be partially to blame..or more. I have fishing friends that have taken fly in trips to northern Canada and described the mosquito conditions up there (in fishing season) as horrendous......Canada ! You never know where threads meander to in this place.

If I make it to heaven, one of my first questions for God will be about mosquitos. As in, “Why?”

No, I said similar not exactly the same. Here's a top 5 list from a Fox affiliate : Most educated """"""""""""" Massachusetts Maryland Connecticut Vermont Colorado Least educated """"""""""""" West Virginia Alabama Arkansas Louisiana Mississippi www.fox5ny.com/news/these-are-the-most-and-least-educated-states-in-americaDumbth and ignorance is sooooo much more easily manipulated than intelligence and awareness. Ol' trumpy knows this and has stated it : " I love the poorly educated " actually, more recent studies have shown the opposite to be true - the more "educated" a person is, the more likely they are susceptible to cults. Common characteristics include higher than average education. far weaker spiritual background, greater financial success. This group is also more likely to accept the "norm", rather than questioning the "norm", i.e., more educated people are far more likely to believe "fake news" (like climate change alarmism). Lord knows, we see that in practice. Some of the dumbest people I have encountered have multiple degrees, but have shit for common sense. Like Hillary said to Dick Morris, she likes democrat voters because they are so dumb they are the easiest to manipulate. In the 1930’s Germany was one of the most literate countries in the world…… some of the best colleges in the world were in Germany…… and the Nazi’s were still able to brainwash these people….. good point tiger.

The Germans were also brainwashed into hating gays and transsexuals, if we are making comparisons.
