How mosquitos find their targets

MosquitoThere’s not really a lot of nice things to say about mosquitos. They’re itch causing blood sucking parasites that serve no real purpose except to annoy, and they’re ugly.

They track you by the carbon dioxide that you exhale. Unless you can figure out how to not breathe you won’t be able to escape their uncanny ability to find fresh meat.

Until very recently nobody knew how they did this. Scientists have determined that mosquitos have protein receptors extending from their jaws that enable the fly to sense carbon dioxide with its antennae.

So here’s the ultimate Q&A website for our favorite fast food joint that everyone loves to hate. http://www.makeupyourownmind.co.uk/

I sure am glad to learn that they have a prepared response for some very disturbing thoughts about employee bodily fluids ending up in milkshakes (hint: do a search for milkshake and then scroll down to the 5th milkshake result from the bottom for a laugh) You might warn your grandma to skip the milkshake next time though!
