Skrillex songs could protect you from pesky mosquitoes this summer

[NCC1701A]

I am going to make a new anti-mosquitoes playlist.

 

"A study published Thursday in Acta Tropica found that playing dubstep music, particularly Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites by Skrillex, reduced mosquito attacks.

"In this study, we examined the effects of electronic music on foraging, host attack and sexual activities of the dengue vector Aedes aegypti," the study said.

The Aedes aegypti, otherwise known as the yellow fever mosquito, was studied with and without dubstep playing. When Skrillex was playing, the female mosquitoes bit less than when the music was off."

"How much does Skrillex make per show?

So how much did these “Electronic Cash Kings” make? Tiesto topped the list $22 million — and an average nightly gross of $250,000 — while Skrillex was named No. 2 with $15 million, followed by the newly defunct Swedish House Mafia with roughly $14 million.Aug 3, 2012"

 

the world is doomed.

A study says that this music works in reducing mosquies attacks only if the man is dancing too.. In Africa they dance all the time. One study says, if you stop moving more than 5 seconds, you are at risk of being stung..  

Butt dance twerk, a African genius' invention,  now a major part of our modern western culture, has   one hidden purpose : dissuade the stingers... while smashing your lumbar disks

Not exactly a relief, having to listen to that awful racket
