Are you tired of mosquitoes snacking on your body and possibly infecting you with deadly diseases?
Scientists are stumbling on new discoveries that can trick the little buggers…
With chocolate!
Mosquitoes can “sense” their next meals due to the carbon dioxide humans produce.
So unfortunately, the most effective way to stop skeeters is to stop breathing.
Researchers are combating this sensory skill by observing fragrances that trick mosquitoes and stun them when they get close.
Currently, DEET is top repellant but mint, caramalized chocolate and fruity fragrances are under study to see if they can have the same effect.
Although scientists believe that the new fragrances would never rid the world of mosquitoes entirely.
