You keep in mind that moment when you are standing in absolute comfort and suddenly you feel a bite, another, and another. Yes, mosquitoes! According to a recent scientific study, ways to avoid mosquito bites are listening to electronic music, especially the dubstep stream.
(Dubstep - a genre of dance-electronic music, widespread in London in the 90s. Dupstep is characterized by rare rhythms, which are synchronized with noisy music).
Not only do they define dubstep as the main music to take away mosquitoes, but experts advise the music creations of American artist Skrillex.
Sounds are "very important to the reproduction and survival of many species," says a team of international scientists dealing with the study of mosquitoes and disease transmitting them.
They conducted experiments by placing adult in the presence of mosquitoes Aedes aegypti, known as yellow mosquitoes, of course without forgetting electronic rhythms in the background. As music was used by Skrillex's "Scary Monsters And Nice Sprites", which won the Best Dance Record prize at the 54th Grammy Awards Ceremony. The song was selected because of the combination of high and low frequencies.
"Insects, low frequencies affect sexual intercourse, while high-pitched noise destroys the perception of signals by members of the same type," the rapids said.
The results, published in the Acta Tropica magazine, provided good news for us and Skrillex. Female mosquitoes "attacked" less frequently in the environment dubstep music played. The show-exposed mosquitoes experienced less frequent sexual intercourse than those without music.
So next time you are resting, you know what to hear.
