It seems scientists have identified some 30 possible human chemical 
compounds that could act as natural mosquito repellents, thus explaining why 
some people get attacked significantly more frequently than others. This may 
eventually lead to natural repellents that are far more effective than DEET 
and plant-based masking repellents. Until then, the suggested use of this 
newly discovered infomation is to hike with a partner that repels mosquitoes 
(employing the so-called 'herd immunity' effect). So, c'mon... where are 
you? Talk to me!
