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!
