Why do mosquitoes bite you more than others? 🦟
Turns out, the answer lies in your skin microbiome — the bacteria, fungi, and viruses living on your skin. Some of these microbes actually produce natural chemicals that repel mosquitoes, which could change the way we think about insect protection.
In this video, we dive into:
🌱 How the skin microbiome affects mosquito attraction
🧪 Why chemical repellents like DEET aren’t the only option
🌾 How microbes from crop leaves are being used to protect plants from pests like aphids
🚜 Why farmers are turning to sustainable, microbiome-based solutions instead of traditional pesticides
From fighting mosquitoes to protecting crops, discover how BugBiome is harnessing microbes to create the next generation of natural pest protection.
👉 If you’ve ever wondered “Why do mosquitoes love me?” or how we can farm without relying on chemicals, this one’s for you!
