Scientists in humans invented repellent substances may insect repellents

United Kingdom researchers found in the human body to mosquito repellent of chemical substances, this discovery helps to develop natural tasteless insecticide sprays.

Reuters reported that many years ago, scientists knew that some people are more easily than the others were mosquito "attacks", while others did not employ the mosquito. Do not move the mosquitoes cause is some people themselves can produce insect repellent substances, or because they have attracted fewer mosquitoes substances?

The answer has always been unclear.

United Kingdom-Sam Stein Research Center of James Logan said: "some researchers believe that hiring mosquitoes body build attract fewer mosquitoes of substance, but from another perspective, imagine the human body is able to generate some insect repellent substances. ”

Logan's research group on different people attract mosquitoes do detect the extent of, and then collect a volunteer body release of chemical substances. Analysis found that certain chemicals in the hiring of mosquitoes is more common in human body. When researchers will these chemicals sprayed to easily recruit mosquito man body, mosquitoes on these people are no longer interested.

Logan, these substances are basically able to cover up the "strokes" substance "of the mosquito, mosquito transmitted signal is" nothing "here. He also said that the researchers found several related chemicals, mosquito repellent effect may be related to different chemical substances content ratio.

Man's nose to smell the smell of natural mosquito repellent substances. Currently, the research team also did not disclose repellent substances, they are going to be the development of natural tasteless repellent to market.
