I wouldn’t worry unless it tells you to feed it a cat.
Did I say something stupid enough that you needed to check my profile?
Good, that was on purpose.

Same! I miss the fact most albums told a story and all songs had some continuity.
Yep, some of their songs are quite narrative, often talk about their experience, and maybe Pink Floyd just lives rent free in some part of my head so I just randomly associated it.
Ah, a lesser known Pink Floyd song.
If plane says “pull up”, gently pull stick up.
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.

And a lifetime in humid climates like the Bayou.
As someone said on this thread: as soon as they can convince legislators, even if they are murder machines, capital will go for it.
Borrowing from my favorite movie: “it’s just a glitch”.
Your dad and I think you should start looking for a job.
That’s probably why science dwellers are so bent on finding microscopic life outside of earth.
It’s odd how often I <java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException> myself as well.
