DEET, le zanzare imparano a morderci anche coi repellenti

Le zanzare addestrate "alla Pavlov" hanno deciso che ora il repellente DEET, gold standard da 80 anni, significa "si cena".

A highly detailed macro photograph of an Aedes aegypti mosquito in mid-flight approaching a human forearm, its proboscis extended and poised to bite. The skin glistens slightly with a recently applied repellent spray. The background is a soft, blurred laboratory setting with warm amber tones. The image has an unsettling, scientific tension — the mosquito appears undeterred, almost purposeful. Shot in a dramatic close-up editorial style with shallow depth of field, cool clinical lighting on the insect contrasted against warm skin tones, photorealistic, high resolution.
