Insect Door

A strange stencil indeed... you can see the red overspray on the upper frame of the window.

Looks like a mosquito,is it possible they were studying pesticides or mosquito borne diseases?

That's a pretty good guess, there were refrigeration units that looked like they were built to store possibly contaminated blood, perhaps they were injecting these into lab animals for vaccines or cures.

I'm curious to know if there were patients in this Hospital while these labs were doing testing?

I would KILL for that door. It breaks my heart that most of this is probably just going to be demolished.

Given the hasty/botched stencil paint job, maybe the mosquito symbol meant this room was an isolation room or contaminated in some way. It was marked as a warning?? like the biohazard symbols we use today.

That's about the actual size of the skeeters in Brevard County Florida. They've been known to carry off pets & small livestock. ==8O
