Scientists discovered a new mozzie repellant
Mosquitoes are a big time problem. A small mosquito can lead to deadly disease. We should definitely need to have a proper repellent to fight them back. The Researches have recently discovered four natural mosquito repellents that will succeed DEET, a compound whose origins is from the World War II.
The diethyl-meta-toluamide was first used by the US Army in 1946 and till now it is the most effective repellent but it comes with its own toxic problems. The scientists have not got a better change that is friendlier towards human as comparison to it.
As published in journal Nature a new series of experiments have led to combined entomology and data-crunching computing through which the scientists at the University of California at Riverside have uncovered four alternatives that may overpower DEET. These alternatives are considered to be safer and productive. They are believed to be more human and environment friendly.
