  • Considering that human diet can modify the metabolic rate and the release of different odor-related volatile metabolites (Havlicek & Lenochova, 2006; Ajibola et al., 2013; Baranska et al., 2013; Zuniga et al., 2017), it is not surprising that some foods and alcoholic beverages can have an impact on the release of kairomones. However, as shown in this section, the literature on these aspects is quite scarce and further studies on the effects of diet on susceptibility to mosquitoes are needed.

    Reading the sections prior to that, it seems metabolic rate and some other factors matter more in the attraction of mosquitos - mostly odors and other stuff influenced by genetics.






  • Haha it’s a game called Escape from Tarkov.

    It’s a hardcore extraction shooter. Whatever you bring in to a raid will be lost when you die. If you manage to extract, you can keep whatever loot you found - whether it spawned in the world or you took it from a dead player.

    The gear you bring in can be “insured” by vendors. Usually it’s a 24 hour real-world timer if you die with that gear. Even then, the gear that you insure has another filter before it gets returned: Other players and scavengers can take it.

    The “lore” of the game explains the insurance return as a deal between the vendors and the scavengers in the area.
