Death to Mosquitoes!!!

What they're saying, in plain English, is they have discovered a chemical that humans emit that attracts mosquitoes. This is important because now that they know what the chemical is, nonanal, they can figure out ways to stop mosquitoes from biting people and thereby transmitting diseases like West Nile.

I hate mosquitoes, if I get bitten, I swell up in huge welts. So, I hope they come out with some super-duper mosquito repellent based on this discovery.

Mosquito attractant

Even if the research was beholden to Adolph Hitler et al, the knowledge will be applied to millions who are currently compromised by Mosquito borne disease, especially in undeveloped area's of the World. We are thankful for these generous crumbs!
