Pyrethroids wafting out of a battery-powered Thermacell. This one can attach to my belt when I’m gardening. I have another for when we are dining out. They work great, but only if you’re OK with breathing pyrethroids, which are neurotoxins. #thermacell #mosquitoes #pyrethroids #repellent

Can #DEET attract #mosquitoes? A lab study offers clues
Exposing the insects as they feed can turn the repellent into an attractant
Although DEET has been a “gold standard” in #insectrepellent for decades, it’s still unclear exactly how it works. Lab experiments suggest mosquitoes can smell DEET and learn to associate it with food, but it’s unclear whether that happens in the wild.

💁🏻♀️ TIL: Researchers at the University of #Tours trained #mosquitoes to associate the smell of #DEET with a blood meal using classical conditioning. 🦟
After training, about half of the mosquitoes attempted to bite a DEET-coated hand — compared to zero percent of untrained mosquitoes. The #study suggests that under certain lab conditions, DEET’s reputation as a repellent might have limits. ✋

Oh, look! A riveting tale where #mosquitoes develop a taste for #DEET because they learned to love it, much like our #addiction to #caffeine. 🦟☕ But don't worry, you can't read the details until you enable your browser's most annoying features. 🔒✨

I swear, these #Memphis #mosquitoes have evolved to think #DEET is a sex pheromone. Swarmy motherfuckers

Also, DEET use has no age restrictions. Use it on your kids without concern. #deet #mosquitoes #parenting https://www.epa.gov/insect-repellents/deet#:~:text=directly%20onto%20face.-,Using%20DEET%20on%20Children,-DEET%20is%20approved

Good article on safety of DEET (N,N-diethyl-meta-toluamide). Many people assume it causes cancer but it doesn't. Just don't drink it. #repellent #deet #mosquitoes #WestNile #EEE https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/27/well/deet-bug-spray.html?unlocked_article_code=1.IE4.f_ty.Kz-MyczZy6Dk&smid=url-share

@ItsTrainingCatsAndDogs I live in Canada, and we have plenty of mosquitoes. Wearing dark colours can make you more attractive. Swatting them away does nothing. Mosquitoes are attracted primarily by the chemicals produced by your skin biome. DEET is the only thing that I've found that works reliably.
