U.S research into "Bug warfare" No joke, thats what they called it (Who comes up with these Code names anyways?)


Operation Big Buzz occurred in May 1955 in the U.S. State of Georgia. The operation was a field test designed to determine the feasibility of producing, storing, loading into munitions, and dispersing from aircraft the yellow fever mosquito (Aedes aegypti).[1] The second goal of the operation was to determine whether the mosquitoes would survive their dispersion and seek meals on the ground.[1] Around 330,000 uninfected mosquitoes were dropped from aircraft in E14 bombs and dispersed from the ground. In total about one million female mosquitoes were bred for the testing,[2] remaining mosquitoes were used in munitions loading and storage tests.[1] Those mosquitoes that were air-dispersed were dropped from airplanes 91 meters above the ground, spreading out on their own and due to the wind.[1]

it's automatic.

I remember back when I was in the "Big Green Machine" we often practiced getting the "big buzz". I don't recall it having anything to do with mosquitos but I do remember getting bombed.

Aedes aegypti? WTF thought of that critter? That's freaking insane.
