Mosquitoes don't have the reputation for harming food. They pass along diseases through their bite and do not feed from food on a plate. Mosquitoes could land in a beverage thinking it a good spot to lay eggs, but they are not there to feed- - though I'd probably replace my beverage if a mosquito landed in it. Flies (like the ordinary housefly or bottle flies) will feed off of dung then carry microbes to your food.

∙ 7y agoThat mosquitoes vector bacteria, diseases, germs and viruses is the reason that their presence can cause food to become harmful. Mosquitoes prey upon the blood of living creatures. They transmit the pathogens in the body fluids, such as blood, of one person that they bite to the next person upon whom they feed.
