Of the more than 3,000 species of mosquitoes in the world, just a small number have evolved to specialize in sucking human blood.
How human-biting mosquitoes track us down so effectively isn't currently known, but it matters, since they don't just make us itch. They also carry dangerous diseases such as Zika, dengue, West Nile virus and malaria that can be deadly. In fact, stopping these pesky insects in their tracks could save up to half a million lives lost to those diseases each year.
"Have it blow air over where you're sitting outside or over the barbecue or under the table where they're biting your feet." It's not that you're blowing the scent around to knock the mosquitoes off track, she said. It's simply because these deadly creatures, McBride said,"are not great fliers.
there's no silver bullet....just coat yourself in vinegar and it should at least alleviate the amt of bloodlust from these mfs😎👍

I feel kind of bad that they cut open their little tiny heads.
Start back allowing DDT will save many more lives.

Some insects can transmit dangerous diseases to human.but more of them are beauty and necessary for nature.
What ever happened to the robot mosquitos that were supposed to wipe out their population. That’s the kinda vibes I’m looking for in 2021.
Not to brag, but I was a non-essential worker before it was cool

Mosquitoes find their human victims by the carbon dioxide they exhale.

Understanding that CNN is full of shit could save millions of lives
Believe they smell humans with their nose.
Really, on the middle of a pandemic in the cold of winter when there are no mosquitoes you tossing us an article explaining nuro-mosquito biology and in the end tell us the solution is to blow a fan at our feet? What kind of freaking bs is this cnn ?
Hmm Decanal being specific to humans. What synesthetic work! With something topical - no harm done - mosquitos evolution to feast on us and unknowingly spread disease will be counteracted. If only the same could be done for the bullshit dissent and disinformation on this thread.
Can we understand why CNN lies and covers up important stories for financial gain first

Interesting point. Since my cancer treatment 13 years ago mosquitoes do not bite me. When we sit outside at certain times of the year when mosquitoes are bad they eat my wife and son alive but rarely even land on me. When they do they fly off almost immediately. Chemotherapy?
ew now these dumbasses are useful
& For this, Knowing Who Tampered With Or Create / Manipulate Them Is Important Towards ACCOUNTABILITY!👍👍👍 & Also, Who APPROVES This.🧐
Donald and Melania Trump doppelgangers. Free
Already Roperfree innovated a solution that is a mosquito repellent made with pure essential oils ward off mosquitoes because they can't stand the smell of it.
Fun fact - the banning of DDT has caused the deaths of 10s of millions of people world wide from diseases carried by mosquitos.
Who gives a shit? Use bug spray

Hey, if you wipe out mosquitos what are hummingbirds going to eat for protein? They don’t just drink sugar water .... have these people given any thought to the birds and other critters that eat mosquitos?
It has already been proven that what attracts them is CO2 from your breath what a BS story
Let me get this straight , in the article it saids “In fact, stopping these pesky insects in their tracks could save up to half a million lives lost to those diseases each year.” So are you saying mosquitoes kills more people than Covid? Yes or no ? If anyone knows let me know
Mosquitos kill millions every year, and yet you don't use them to fear monger people. Makes one wonder.
For those of you who cling on to FEAR and WORRY like a baby blanket.. keep watching CNN. I swear they don’t tell you these thing because it makes them money. I’m telling you this confidently from my ocean front estate in Arizona.
Bodies that contain more fatty acids than others are attractive to mosquitoes, and the same is the case for bodies that produce specific odors that differ from person to person. Mosquitoes prefer warm skin, some fatty acids and odors of ammonia or lactase that the body secretes
Those two look deadly
This could help.Those little buggers will bite you the whole night
Honestly I saw 3 mosquitoes this past summer. It’s so dry where I am they are nearly nonexistent. This was a blessing coming from the east coast where ur entire behavior in the summer was built around mosquitoes lol. Although I do turn into a raisin more easily now. We need water
Jesus saves!!!
Yeah let's figure this shit out tf
