有些研究人员认为血液的酸性环境让蚊虫无法存活,或是蚊子可以检测血液疾病,而另一些人相信维他命B提供了免于蚊虫叮咬的保护。
However, there is no indication that any of these theories are correct, says Jensen: There is no truth to that. The theory about vitamin B has been tested very, very thoroughly, and it doesnt hold.
然而,没有证据表明这些理论都是正确的。詹森说:关于这一点还没有任何存在的事实。关于维他命B的理论已经反反复复经过了论证,但这种说法似乎站不住脚。
Perhaps taking inspiration from popular fiction, there are also those who swear by garlic as an excellent repellent against the winged bloodsuckers. According to the researcher, though unsubstantiated, this strategy may not be entirely fruitless:
也许可以从流行小说里得到一些启发,也有些人宣称大蒜是一种可以用来对付蚊子很好的防虫剂。据研究人员透露,尽管还未经证实,但这种方法也并非完全无效:
As far as I know, there is no scientific proof that eating garlic works. But there may be something to the theory that its possible to mask your scent with garlic, he says.
就我所知,目前没有科学依据证明吃大蒜会有效预防蚊虫叮咬。但在理论上它也许是行得通的,可以用大蒜来掩盖你的气味。詹森说。
