If it works, and makes life better, the libs will find a way to ban it.

A miracle of science. Reflected light from Helen Thomas has been reconfigured into a molecule.

***The tests were conducted as part of a major interdisciplinary research project to develop new ways to control the spread of malaria by disrupting a mosquito’s sense of smell ****

Tain’t no good unless it will also drive away the TICKS and CHIGGERS.

New Insect Repellent May Be Thousands of Times Stronger Than DEET

If it repels cockroaches effectively, the Islamofacists are in big trouble, they'll have to hook up with the environmentalists to ban it.

Okay, but does it repel moslems?

Found this in the article:
Jones used genetic engineering techniques to insert mosquito odorant receptors into the human embryonic kidney cells used in the screening process.

WTF?

Hasn’t DEET been implicated in Gulf War Syndrome and PTSD? Or does it cause those only when you get an anthrax shot first and then take pyridostigmine?

Just how bad does it stink to repel so much.

One scientist mentioned that overuse may turn you into a “chaz” but did not elaborate.

I want it.

They love me. As I get older, my ‘bug magnet’ is stronger and the effects of the bites are stronger. Many times I have had to run into the house to slather Benadryl gel over my arms & legs.

I buy a spray with the highest DEET concentration I can find. Wearing long sleeves and long pants is not an option. Not in the southern summers. I love being outside; staying in the house is not an option.

I hope they are able to get something to market (the sooner, the better).

They’ll probably find out after general release to the public that it repels women too.
