Natural born repellents
Are you a mosquito magnet? If you are, it's not your sweet smelling blood that attracts them, scientists say - you simply lack a chemical that some humans produce that masks your attractiveness to bugs, tricking them into thinking that you are not a suitable host. "For the first time, we can... view more (2004-03-26)
