MONTREAL - The odor of dirty socks can be used to lure mosquitoes into a deadly trap before they can spread malaria, a US and Canadian-funded researcher based in Africa said Wednesday. Dr. Fredros Okumu, of the Ifakara Health Institute in Tanzania, discovered through an experiment that mosquitoes were more attracted to the odor of filthy feet than to live humans sleeping in the same area.

a good shower before going to bed can reduce your chances of being attacked by mosquitoes because mosquitoes are mainly attracted by body odor, body temperature, sweat and smelly feet |

What an avenue to go dirty! Jeez! This research is appalling. The smell from dirty stockings can he hazardous to health just the way mosquitoes giving you malaria would. Why not recommend to clean up your environment and fumigate the surroundings instead of this dirty stockings idea? Hehehe, very funny indeed. |
