Summer is finally here, bringing long days and plenty of sunshine, but it also brings the most annoying “mosquitoes” of the year. Create a “chemical camouflage” consisting of natural ingredients that blocks 99% of mosquito bites.
In order to solve the annoying mosquitoes, scientists have used genetically modified mosquitoes in the past to eliminate these mosquitoes that bite humans and spread malaria and other deadly diseases. However, the “chemical camouflage” studied by Israeli scientists is mainly made of natural ingredients. The smell that mosquitoes don’t like prevents mosquitoes from being attracted.
The researchers pointed out that the natural substances of “chemical camouflage” are slowly released to prolong the protection time. The main purpose is not to try to eliminate mosquitoes, but to prevent mosquitoes from approaching in the first place by repelling mosquitoes completely. These chemicals Strong enough to stop 99% of mosquitoes from approaching human skin.
The “chemical camouflage” compound is composed of two natural ingredients, including an aromatic substance “indole” present in flowers, and a polymer called cellulose. As long as a thin layer of the formula is applied, it can reduce human body damage by 80%. Skin-feeding mosquitoes, and can reduce 99.4% of mosquito eggs, and the research results have been published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America.
