Guest guest Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 I recently read a report about this. Researchers are currently toying with the idea it may be the amount of cholesterol on a person's skin that acts as a mosquito and flea repellant. We all have cholesterol on our skin surfaces, and how much we have isn't necessarily indicative of the state of our arteries, but it somehow seems to correlate with how often we are attacked by biting pests. The more surface cholesterol, the greater our protection, or so it would appear. More trials are needed to determine if early indications will, indeed, hold true. jaime,CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
