Some mosquitoes can develop a resist against the substances we use to repel them away. This was shown in a laboratory test in the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) and associates in the UK. The mosquitoes that are that developed this are the yellow fever mosquitoes. They no longer sense the smell of DEET a substance used in mosquito repellents all over the world. The scientists have done seen that the sensory cell on the mosquito's antenna has stopped reacting to DEET. That’s why they are limiting the use of repellents that have DEET to be use in large amount in a limited area to be use so that they don’t make other mosquitoes species resistant.
I see that mosquitoes are mutating to what once we used to repel them way from us. This is amazing I never knew this could ever happen but know we might end up with more health problems. Since mosquitoes carry disease like fever and other things this will harm us bad. Hopefully this mosquitoes aren’t in the USA to harm us. They have to quickly come up with a good repellant that will keep them away from us.
