        @USATODAY Mosquitos are an insect, not an animal. Humans are the biggest killers.

        @USATODAY Yea, freshwater snails aren't killing thousands. Schistosomes carried by them are. Now, the saltwater ones are pretty gnarly.

        @USATODAY I'd give you the snails if they were what actually transmitted the worms directly to humans. Another host or open water is needed.
