It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Keeping the Aedes aegypti at bay...

"In this study, we examined the effects of electronic music (Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites by Skrillex) on foraging, host attack, and sexual activities of the dengue vector Aedes aegypti. Adults were presented with two sound environments (music-off or music-on). Discrepancies in visitation, blood feeding, and copulation patterns were compared between environments with and without music. Ae. aegypti females maintained in the music-off environment initiated host visits earlier than those in the music-on environment."


First they came for the dumb-asses
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a dumb-ass
