My blood, like mosquitoes
My blood, like mosquitoes Here in Mauritius, mosquitoes are in paradise. Mosquitoes are all male fruit? Ll dreaming? God knows if they actually sleep? throughout the year, while the female mosquitoes can choose from a large number of tourists to feed on.It not surprising that tourists have bitten more than us, people do. And the reaction that occurs in the tourists? the skin is very unusual for me. A large red swelling develops. This is twice the size of that formed on my skin if I had to have bite. It seems that the bite is also a tourist is more irritating. In my opinion, this is because foreigners are not used for bites of mosquitoes that Mauritians do. But one thing is bull, but if some people are bitten more than others.Why is so? Or rather, why some people are less fish? James Logan, a student research in Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) have discovered that some people emit? Mask? odors that prevent the identification of mosquitoes. Another study, conducted earlier by Professor John Pickett and his team have shown that the number of flies that moved around a herd depended on certain cows that were present. Professor Pickett and his team found that little? mosquitoes, at least - has given the people of different chemical signals from other cows. To be sure of this, the little cows were removed and the number of flies actually worry about the herd increased. These? Adjust? cows had not been hidden by the attraction of cow? Hot? mask? therefore, the smell and the flies were attracted to? ordinary? cows.After some other experiments, it was concluded that the famous? mask? odors were acting as repellents or as fill. This result could lead to a new type of insect repellent. They would be safer and more time will only bite effective.Next think that mosquitoes are not attracted to her? Sweet? blood, but by its smell. About the Author A. Khalil Cassimally is the editor of Physics and Astronomy Official Joual ezine.
