Rob Rhinehart got nothing on me. I already figured out how to do this without abusing medicine - Just working on the details.

Always In my head: Rob Rhinehart's no poop via reduction of bacteria, Tim Ferris's poop weighs, Feynman's Trees: http://www.npr.org/sections/krulwich/2012/09/25/161753383/trees-come-from-out-of-the-air-says-nobel-laureate-richard-feynman-really …

Funny that Bill Gates released a bunch of mosquitoes into a ted talk and it became famous. But some autistic kid in vermont saving up jugs of urine to dump in the local stagnant water would prob just get me thrown in jail. Both strike me as socially repugnant behavior.

There is apparently a way to use the dual signaling/toxicity of the Cane Toads against them. The poison that makes them unpalatable doubles as mechanism for tadpoles to hunt eggs. http://rspb.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/279/1742/3436 …

Oh, I forgot to talk about why I'm adding this talk about mosquitoes. I found out that we can fuck with mosquitoes by messing with their melatonin signaling. https://insights.osu.edu/science/mosquitoes-and-rna-reproduction … which might be acting via the same mechanisms I noted here:https://twitter.com/ultimape/status/1040194363102580736 …

I'm operating under a suspicion that Melatonin / light response is mediated by gut microbes via a response ala: https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0146643 … and possibly a strange socially mediated / immune interaction with insulin/serotonin ala https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/06/160628113751.htm … And that humans can hibernate.

I'm really just mad that humming birds in the backyard come to feed at same time that the mosquitoes start to bite. I also realized they are very sensitive to sunlight, atmospheric pressure, and humidity. Got me thinking that it might be happening in bees.https://twitter.com/MarkProffitt/status/1040196310551486464 …

Light makes a huge difference for me. So does barometric pressure.

Also 23andMe updated my gene report to confirm I have the super-attractive-to-mosquitoes genes I thought I did. I never actually bothered to look those up in the raw data, so it was serendipity.

another thing that I'll dig the references up for is that mosquitoes are attracted to people who are stressed out, specifically by the metric (heh) of free fatty acid release, which is the hallmark of stress in animals

so like, niacinamide, caffeine, aspirin, sugar will all theoretically deter mosquitoes from biting you I have made a topical of niacinamide, caffeine, and aspirin, and I can say that it works well enough here in summer. I never get bit (PNW)
