IF you get really really drunk and a mosquito bites you, will that mosquito die of alcohol poisoning?

No, it will just keep coming back for another round. Stingy little buggers, won't leave a tip!

depends on if i'm allergic to wasps.  i haven't found out yet, but that'd be a crappy way to learn.  glass shreds your stomach lining and you can bleed internally for days before you get really sick or potentially die.  i'd take my chances with wasps i guess.

My brother, who is an alcoholic, is no different from any other person when it comes to infectious diseases.  They take colds, flu, gout, and even pheumonia (for some types of infectious diseases) all the time.  That I am aware of, alcohol doesn't kill any kind of bacteria nor does if fight off any kind of viral infection any better than most other liquids.

If you got stabbed right in the stomach, you would ooze forth a mixture of lager and blood - but liquids don't hang around too long in the stomach, so it'd have to be right after you'd knocked a pint back. Also, the contents of the stomach are not really pressurised, so it wouldn't spray out. The blood would spray, but the lager would trickle. Probably straight into your abdomen, where it would cause peritonitis.

Signs of alcohol poisoning include:\n\nVomiting. An unconscious person could choke and suffocate from vomiting.\nConfusion.\nPassing out, coma, or inability to awaken the person.\nSeizures.\nSlow breathing—fewer than 8 breaths per minute.\nIrregular breathing—10 seconds or more between breaths.\nLow body temperature (hypothermia), bluish skin, and paleness

No. The mosquito would probably just die, and if it didn't, it wouldn't bite anyone else until it finished digesting the infected blood anyone. When sucking blood, it doesn't spit other blood back in, so the infected blood wouldn't go into you anyway. (Mosquitoes don't backwash)\n\nAnd by the way, West Nile Virus and HIV are COMPLETELY different viruses.

if you have poison in your body - which an infection is- it can travel to all parts via the blood system. It is not unusual to feel ill if you have infections\nIf you are at all concerned - off to the doctor with you.

There is no scientific evidence to support this. \nAccording to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), mosquitoes do not inject blood when they bite. As a result, mosquitoes do not transmit the virus. What they do inject is an itch-inducing saliva that acts as a lubricant to aid blood extraction, but it does not carry the virus.\n\nYellow fever and malaria can be transmitted through the saliva, but HIV does not reproduce in insects, so the virus doesn't survive in the mosquito long enough to be transmitted in the saliva.

I don't think so. The mosquito would digestive system would more then likely kill any vaccines that it consumed or it would turn into a hybrid disease or a new one.

No, you only breathed a little vapour in, you didn't injest any, most went onto the skin.  You don't have to worry about anything.  The bottle is warning people who drink rubbing alcohol as if it were scotch or vodka.  Unfortunately some people who are very addicted to alcohol have tried to do so and have died as a result.  Rubbing alcohol is poisonous when drunk directly through the stomach.   Other people try to get high by breathing vapours for over twenty minutes or more constantly to get high.  You can be hurt if you do this as well.  This is what the warning on the bottle is referring to.  Rubbing alcohol is perfectly safe when used to disinfect wounds., your liver can handle the small amount you breathed in easily.

No: The extra antibiotic will just go to waste, apart from maybe making you feel even sicker. It is supposed to be poisoning the bacteria that are making you bad, but it is no use you taking it faster than they can absorb it. Also, it is likely to wipe out the symbiotic bacteria that your gut needs to digest properly, giving you the squits big time. Alcohol neutralises a lot of antibiotics, giving the infection a fresh start, with germs that you have just selected for antibiotic resistance, so you will need an even longer course of pills to get yourself right. Finish your pills and lay off the drink, like the doctor said.

Q: How much blood does a female mosquito drink per, er, serving? \nA: About 5-millionths of a liter (for an Aedes aegypti).( http://www.thaibugs.com/Articles/amazing_mosquito_facts.htm )

No one has ever conclusively shown that any HIV infection was spread by mosquito bite.\n\nIt is believed that the virus is unable to survive in the mosquito as the insect is cold-blooded, and the environmental temperature within the insect would fluctuate too much for HIV to survive (which is one reason that HIV is a blood borne disease, instead of being able to be spread by sneezing/coughing and the like).\n\nAlso, the mosquito injects anti-coagulant saliva into a wound through a hollow stylet known as the hypopharynx, but blood is drawn into the mosquito via the labrum/epipharynx - a totally separate hollow tube.  They do not inject blood back into their victim, making transfer by this method highly unlikely.\n\nThe only way that a mosquito could transfer infected blood from one victim to another would be if some blood were left on the maxillae or mandibles that they use to pierce their victim's skin, and they moved to another victim and transfered that blood before the virus expired.  The amount of blood transferred in this fashion would be minute (perhaps a few cells at the most), and it would need to be done soon after the first feeding or the virus would die.\n\nWhen you consider the number of mosquito bites per person in somewhere like sub-Saharan Africa, and the infection rates of people positive for HIV in that region, even something as unlikely as a mosquito transferred case of HIV cannot be completely and totally ruled out.  It might have happened once or twice.  There's no way to know for sure.\n\nIt is exceedingly unlikely though.

In short, there has never been a documented case of a mosquito trans-\nmitting the AIDS virus.  The virus cannot live inside a mosquito's \ngut, and even if it did, the mosquito does not ingest enough virus \nparticles when it feeds to pose any substantial threat of transmission.
