    Not all uses of such weapons are prohibited by treaty. The present invention is capable of delivering lethal and non-lethal toxins, including any agent that can be carried and administered by a mosquito.

    I’m sorry but WTF. This is a patent about using mosquitoes to deliver lethal toxins? How is this not prohibited by chemical warfare treaties? Only legal if you use it against your own citizens?

  I’m sure DARPA probably already has research in this area.
