My dad was station in the South Pacific during WWII. There is a tree/shrub that grow on the island he was stationed on that repells the misquito that spreads the disease.
They were the only soldiers that did not have to take preventative measures for the disease.
For years he has tried to spread the word. Contact individuals who might be interested in research or transplanting the tree to areas that would protect populations.
No success so far. Any one with any ideas of who to contact to give information, let me know.
Which island? They might be afraid it grows like kudzu.
