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.

Most infected people have no symptoms, but about 20% develop a fever and symptoms such as headache, body aches, joint pain, vomiting, diarrhea, or a rash."

There's a cute fox in this video but that's just clickbait. What I want to point out are all the mosquitoes flitting about. Probably there to oviposit (the surface is clogged with egg rafts) but perhaps some are just having a drink. And still others may be looking for love. Anyway, all as a way to encourage everyone with a mini-pond to use Mosquito Dunks (safe for foxes!). #fox #pond #mosquitoes #trailcam https://youtu.be/Gwl2sA-LcKw
