Researchers used a 3D tracking system and wind tunnel along with visual and scent clues to test the mosquito biting behaviors, concluding the pests are more attracted to people wearing red, orange or black clothing. They also tend to ignore green, purple, blue and white.

Read More »A new study suggests what you wear could help you avoid mosquitos and their itchy bites. According to the research, the pests are more attracted to certain colors. Florida’s summer rainy season is prime time for mosquitos. In Pasco County, technicians are out five days a week looking for the pesky insects. The reason why mosquito’s may bite starts with odor, and they are attracted to breath. "From a distance, mosquitoes are finding plumes of carbon dioxide in the air," Rogers said. "So that's really what triggers them to move into a certain area." A new study from the University of Washington finds once the bloodsuckers catch that whiff of Co2, they zero-in on particular hues of color to find a host. Researchers used a 3D tracking system and wind tunnel along with visual and scent clues to test the mosquito biting behaviors, concluding the pests are more attracted to people wearing red, orange or black clothing. They also tend to ignore green, purple, blue and white. The scientists note that human skin, regardless of overall pigmentation, gives off a strong red signal to the mosquito’s eyes. The scientists believe color could be another way to prevent mosquito bites. However, there have only been a handful of studies like this, so not much is known about the insect’s color preferences. "It's a multitude of different things that are attractive for mosquitoes," said Rogers. These findings suggest color may be one of them. However, Rogers said more research is needed because sweat and the temperature of your skin also play a role in how mosquitos identify a host. "To rely solely on color would provide a false sense of security and will not provide you the protection that you need," she said. Knowing what lures mosquitos opens the door to developing better repellents and traps. However, for now, Rogers recommends people rely on bug spray, covering up and avoiding outdoors when mosquitos are most active at dusk and dawn.

In fact, accepting any sort of gift could be grounds for termination — unless the agent has a friend or family member who is an airline employee.
When it comes to the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and their officers, most people aren't exactly fans. It's sometimes confusing to know what you can or can't take through security, and the long process can make travel more stressful, especially if you're just trying to survive a long flight. Many find airport security to be unnecessarily invasive — especially when it comes to how much of a person's body is shown when going through body scanners and how people feel about pat-downs. People have such strong feelings toward the TSA that some officers find it easier to fib about the true nature of their job than just state that they're a TSA agent at an airport. But there are a few facts about the TSA that could make things easier for many travelers if they were widely known. To make your next travel experience more pleasant, read these 20 things your TSA agent won't tell you.
