The Future of Insect Repellents: Is Stinky, Bitter, and Painful the Way to Go?
Repelling insects doesn’t have to be a stinky, bitter, and painful experience anymore. Scientists have developed a new way to repel bugs that is odorless and tasteless. This new insect repellent is a protein-based solution that is designed to be sprayed on clothing or skin. It is effective against mosquitoes, ticks, and other biting insects, and has been tested to last up to 8 hours. The best part is that it doesn’t cause any skin irritation or have a bitter taste, like many traditional repellents. With this new development, you can effectively repel bugs without having to suffer through the unpleasant side effects.
