if there is one thing i have learned from watching sci-fi channel original movies, is that one should not to tamper with the delicate balance of nature. for instance, you do not want to go back in time on a dinosaur hunting safari and accidentally step on a butterfly or you will transform the future into a place with man eating apes and plants that ensnare passersby and shoot them with venomous thorns. also, you would not want to summon a long extinct tyrannosaurus-rex to protect your aztec tribe from raiders because he is likely to eat you when he is done. another common mistake you might want to avoid is transplanting dangerous creatures such as a chupacabra, from their natural habitat, onto, say a cruise ship full of plump white people or creating a sabretooth cat theme park.
in addition you should not implant microchips in your brain, expiriment with radation of any sort, perform any sort of genetic engineering, time travel, capture previously uncataloged species of animal or insect, attempt to interact with ancient tribes who have somehow survived the millenia without being discovered, or otherwise tamper with the natural order of things. i could go on, but obviously the producers at the sci-fi channel feel it is important for us to know that everything we do has the potential for deadly, absurdly bloody, unintended consequences.
having said that, given the opportunity, i would, without hesitation, wipe mosquitoes out of existence and not give it a second thought. the first warm sunny weekend this spring i put on shorts and got no less than five mosquito bites below the knees.

of course once the sci fi channel convinces you to stay inside and do nothing, suddenly you have DEADLY MOLD and as it turns out you should have been doing scientific experiments all along...
