Plagued by mosquitoes? Try some bite-blocking fabrics
Briefly

Engineers have successfully developed innovative knitted fabrics that incorporate mosquito-repellent compounds, providing an effective layer of protection against mosquito bites without compromising comfort or fashion.
The textiles not only repel mosquitoes but are also designed to be breathable and lightweight, ensuring that there is minimal impact on the wearer’s experience while maximizing protection.
In a world where mosquitoes are vectors for serious diseases like malaria and dengue, this breakthrough in knitted fabric technology represents a significant advancement in wearable protective solutions.
These fabrics open new avenues not just in the realm of fashion but also in public health, potentially aiding communities in mosquito-prone regions to reduce disease transmission.
