The Truth About Mosquito Repellents and Itching.
TL;DR Summary
Scientists have discovered a scent that repels mosquitoes, which could revolutionize our approach to mosquito control. The scent possesses the ability to cloak the human odor that attracts mosquitoes, creating a formidable barrier against their presence. This discovery offers hope for regions heavily burdened by mosquito-borne diseases and could lead to safer and more environmentally-friendly substitutes for traditional chemical-filled repellents. However, further research and testing are needed to perfect the formulation, assess its long-term effectiveness, and ensure its safety for both humans and the environment.
