(Newswire.net — July 30, 2018) Cheyenne, Wyoming — There are a lot of oddities in the world but this one may be the strangest you’ve heard in a while. Did you know mosquitoes can smell? Seriously, they do! And not only can they smell but their entire existence is dependent on their ability to smell you.
Haven’t you wondered how they keep finding you? Windows closed, bug zappers in hand, body oozing with cheap repellent sprays and the little pests still manage to bite you. Well, the reason all your tricks haven’t worked is because mosquitoes have the ultimate internal GPS system driven by scent, more specifically the scents of our skin odor and carbon dioxide which we emit.
Yes, mosquitoes can see us, but only from 5-10 meters away, and they also use our body heat to narrow down our exact position within 20 centimeters of us but the first step to knowing what areas to explore is to smell us within a circumference of 10-50 meters of them. If we can mask/eliminate the carbon dioxide our bodies’ release then we can distort the mosquitoes GPS capabilities and enjoy our evening on the porch bite-free.
It’s based on this knowledge that bug repellents are made but most lotions and sprays rely so heavily on non-essential elements for application that you get more goo and fleeting mist than you bargained for and less of the active ingredients which actually do the warding off work.
“West Nile is a virus most commonly spread to people by mosquito bites,” informs the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). “In North America, cases of West Nile virus (WNV) occur during mosquito season, which starts in the summer and continues through fall. WNV cases have been reported in all of the continental United States. There are no vaccines to prevent or medications to treat WNV in people. About 1 in 5 people who are infected develop a fever and other symptoms. About 1 out of 150 infected people develop a serious, sometimes fatal, illness. You can reduce your risk of WNV by using insect repellent and wearing long-sleeved shirts and long pants to prevent mosquito bites.”
