So disappointed to discover that freshwater snails kill 10000 times the number of people Cassowaries do....
The little shelly brutes pass on all types of nasty viruses. Hate facts sometimes!

Mosquitos are more deadly. They pass diseases that kill 750,000 people a year on average.

There is good news though. There are plants you can hang in a pot or plant around your home that will repel them.

The article doesn't mention lemon grass. It's also a plant mosquitos avoid.
