Do You Have the Slightest Idea How Little That Narrows It Down?
Did I say something stupid enough that you needed to check my profile?
Good, that was on purpose.

I also learned what “consummate” means… Or at least I think I do.
Oh so just one grad school text book.
Do you get your own stipulated free time or you’re on call duty all the time?

High elves = no thanks High cats = yes please
And just for the next 7 days (ingame). Kinda tough social commentary on marriage.
Oh, the answer to what if Rob Liefeld made a Batman comic.
I can’t lie to you about your chances, but… you have my sympathies.
For me that’s the golden age, and after that: darkness, desperation, flash.
Honest to god, I’ve seen people from the past trying to write html for a website on Word.
Lile with Pavel Kushnir, somehow Russia is jailing and killing their brightest.
And the war on drugs stuff, and the Iran-Contra stuff, the DoH grant rigging, Ill Wind, loans crisis, Wedtech scandal and so many more classics!
After all, he’s number one in the hall of fame for convictions/indictions of Administration officials. A whooping 138 record, making him the Babe Ruth of corrupt US government leaders.
Laser-carrying mosquitoes or mosquito-killing lasers?
Maybe you’re onto something ;)
(P<0.05; 0.00) seems incidental with the study size and honestly I can’t see how could they smell the blood type.
(I’m not saying they can’t, I’m saying I would like to know how.)
I’m saying it may be incidental because the paper doesn’t define if the population from where mosquitoes fed had a higher or lower O-type density, nor their distribution.
Mosquitoes find their prey using three senses:
First by CO2, as mammals will be releasing it in big quantities (though they also bite reptiles).
Second, by body smell, which as others here have mentioned, diet and genetics may dictate how it is affected.
Third by shape (that’s when they are already there) and are trying to figure out where to stick it.
The first one is hard to fix, so for the second I’ll recommend icaridin or, if not available DEET, and in gel form not spray. DEET can be a skin irritant, hence why is less preferred.
Spray though is sometimes used when applying it to clothing, as it also may have your smell attached to it.
For the third one, I haven’t seen conclusive data but a lot of observational studies: from wearing light-colored ample clothing that doesn’t define the limbs to (I guess) wearing stripes like a zebra.

It’s the only cheap fruit that I can use to make cake if it ripens too much.
