[Suggestion] Mosquitos

[Rigor Mortis (DayZ) 141]

I'd like to see a chance to be bitten by mosquitos near stagnant bodies of water -- then a small percentage of those bug bites could give an infection like malaria.  There could be a couple of methods to keep the bugs off, bug spray being the easiest to implement.

I think cholera and malaria are confirmed? Maybe only cholera, but malaria should be an option to, then again how many people would get it? what would be the percentage of risk?

Malaria mosquito's are detected in Europe this summer (the made the cross over seas in a big swarm), but change of infection are little to none here in the west. Also keep in mind Chernarus as it is now is set in the fall, most mosquito's are dead then.

Mosquito, honey bee, fly, dragonfly, and butterfly have all been in the pbo's for months. Safe to say we will most likely get them all at some point here. Also on the topic of diseases rats are also in the pbos along with at least 15 other animals, I think it's a good bet that diseases will be tied to both mosquitos and rats.

Bloodsucking mosquitos? Have you played DayZ, they probably one hit kill you for a week till they would fix it, then itd be instant malaria XD

No problem, any other info you'd like pulled from the pbo's let me know. I've refrained from posting too much of it as sometimes things disappear with an update and sometimes they put things in to fuck with us lol (AS50 Thermal anyone). The AS50 was an obvious troll though as there was no data in the folder. I just don't wanna post a complete list because people make take that as all those items being confirmed when many are still being worked on or may not even make it into the stable builds.
