Mosquitoes and Me: A Love-Hate Story
TRISHA
I was constantly hounded by mosquitoes throughout my childhood. People fell ill around me all the time because of them. They were everywhere, biting me and everyone I knew all the time. I used to specifically study late at night hoping these pests wouldn’t annoy me. But I was wrong. Mosquitoes were the bane of my existence.

"My organisms are human cells that grow and divide. These babies are actually grown outside the human body in specialised dishes. They need their customised food for energy, a nice warm and humid environment, and like any child, they need enough space to play and grow. They also need other cells as their friends to connect with!"
