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 abundant energy attracts 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.

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 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.
