You Have No Idea How Good Mosquitoes Are at Smelling Us
- Flatcircle 4y agoIn the US, Policy makers need to get their act together with this invasive mosquito issue. Figure out a way to efficiently get rid of the species.
- unknownaccount 4y agoThat’s an immature shortsighted idea which is why it hasn’t been implemented. The environmental damage caused by eliminating them would be immense.
- Flatcircle 4y agoIn what regard? They're an invasive species.
- unknownaccount 4y agoInvasive in what way? Theres 3600 species of mosquitoes and theyve been around for hundreds of millions of years. Dont you have any idea how many animals and insects eat them as a food source?
- t-3 4y agoNo idea?! It's quite obvious that they can smell humans from afar, as they converge very quickly when you go outside, especially when you're sweaty. What a clickbait title. I've never found any repellents to work really well, but birch tar oil does OK. Easiest to just cover up the fleshy hairless portions, keep moving and aware/paranoid, and avoid outdoors from dusk to 3-4AM.
