H you're brunette with a
ruddy, dark or medium-dark
complexion, you'll take your

lumps this summer.
Mosquitces usually love you.
And if you're robust,

energetic and constantly on the
Bo, you’re prime target for the
menacing mosauito.

Bob Frank, an_ insect
repellent researcher in Ontario
says mosquitoes find you even
more tempting if you favor dark
elothes and you are under 45.

Frank says tests showed that
people with very light skins are
not as attractive to mosquitoes
as their dark-haired, dark-
skinned counterparts, ‘Usually
people with ruddy or dark
complexions have a little more
moisture and oi] in their skins,
which mosquitoes seem to
prefer.

“However, mosquitoes wil]
hite almost everyone, with few

exceptions. The point is, they

appear to like brunettes better.

‘Blondes have a little more
fun: in summer because,
according to our research,
white or light-colored clothing is
less attractive to insects than

dark, and the same applies to

hair and skin.

‘Often, too, light skin is quite
dry and mosquitoes don’t like
dry biting surfaces. That's why
alder people whose skin is
usually dry and often wrinkled
don't have as much trouble with

Frank says active people with

Mosquitoes through their
motion and the scents they
disperse as they move. ‘a
placid person sitting still on his
front proch won't lure the insect
as much as a man on a summer
night jog.

‘However, put thatsame calm
quiet man outdoors on a very
humid evening and he’s a sitting

nuisances. Mosquitoes are at

You have two alternatives if

_ you're in the direct flight-bite

pattern of the humming
hedonists; cover yourself from
head to tee and stay indoors,
or wear an insect repellent and
enjoy summer.

The second sounds the
obvious choice,

But it isn't says Frank, for
those who confuse insect
repellents with bug killers,...
and ‘therefore think repellents
may. be too harsh and harmful
to skin and health.

Research Group to explore

misconceptions about insect
repellents, .

Repellents defined

Mr. Frank defines repellents
as substances which keep
mosquitoes and. insects from
biting. Insects do not like the
smell or feel of repellents.

Repellents are applied
directly ta the skin. Insect
killers, on the other hand, are
never sprayed on the body.
They are sprayed at insects to
kill them, or sprayed in a room
infested with mosquitoes or
insects. :

‘Insect repellents are very
much like cosmetics. Applied
directly to the skin, they gently

protect it from biting and .

stinging insects, just as
foundation makeup and
moisturizing bases protect the
skin from dirt-and the aging
effects of wind, sun and dry
central heating.

‘They are not harsh
chemicals and are quite safe
when directions are followed.
There are aerosol sprays and
liquids and lotions to ‘repel
Mosquitoes and insects and also
stick-form repellents that are
excellent for fishermen. They
hold the applicator and ,stroke
the repellent on exposed areas
without having to touch it, so the
repellent is not transferred to
thebait. Fish, apparently, don't
like repellent either.’

Insect repellents are’ safe

even for a baby's soft, sensilive
skin, according to Frank.

Insect repellent was
introduced in Canada in the’
mid-50s. It had a significant
historical background.

Early in the 1940s, the United
States Army fighting in the
South Pacific had more troops
out of action with malaria than
with injures. Ss

The government
commissioned a Canadian
company to develop an insect
repellent that would keep
mosquitoes from biting. « The
612th formula tested-worked. It,
was marketed after World War
2 to fight another war.... the
mosquito battle on the domestic
front. .

Consumer response to insect
repellents has been steadily
increasing with the growth in
popularity of outdoor living:
barbecuing, camping, boating,
palio parties, fishing, tennis,
golf and other outdoor leisure
time activites; and the:
increasing popularity of
personal cosmetic products.
