Mosquitoes Can Learn to Love Insect Repellant, Scientist Reveal

by

In 1946, a chemist with the U.S. Department of Agriculture created DEET—short for N,N-diethyl-meta-toluamide—a bug spray that quickly became popular with the military for use in tropical environments.

It might also work by mimicking the scent of plants that mosquitoes naturally avoid. Whatever the reason, it effectively keeps mosquitoes away—though its effectiveness isn’t always guaranteed.

She recently told Variety that it’s way too early to even talk about it, and she’d need a really compelling reason to return – the story would have to be good enough to make it worthwhile.
