Mosquitoes and History...

Mosquitoes have always come across as annoying,blood-sucking insects. Read on to find out what the Babylonian Talmud has to say about them!! The Talmud asserts that the Roman Emperor Titus was punished by GOD for having destroyed the temple in Jerusalem by having a mosquito fly into Titus' nose,picking at his brain,ceaselessly buzzing,driving him crazy and eventually causing death!!! ;) Though mosquitoes are capable of bringing about such effects,no such account appears in any Roman source.Apparently,Titus died prematurely from unclear causes after only two years in power...So much for the mosquito....
