According to his post on Bill Gates Notes yesterday he is much more afraid of the nip of a mosquito than the bite of a Great White Shark!
Bill talks about a fragrance company in Switzerland, dsm-firmenich, that is “tapping into its massive scent library” to determine what fragrances might be attractive to humans but repel mosquitos that carry malaria.
OPEN NOTE TO BILL GATE”S…NOTES: If you read my post of August 26th you will see that I already blew the lid off the mosquito attraction conundrum. Perhaps if you slipped a few million bucks of Gates Foundation funding my way (petty cash for you) we would already be well on our way to eradicating the problem.
At the very least, I would be well on the way to eradicating my problem!
