Aug. 28 - As China enters the mosquito rampaging season of Autumn, many people in Shanghai, in order to avoid bites and sleepless1 nights, have downloaded a special mobile phone software which claims to be able to make cell phones emit mosquito repellent waves.

 

About 1,000 people in a surveyed website downloaded the free software which later most of them found did not repel2 mosquitoes, some users also claimed to have suffered from severe headaches the next morning. But there are others who support the mosquito repellent software, saying it works.

 

A reporter from enet.com.cn interviewed an expert, Xu Renquan from the Shanghai Municipal Centre for Disease Control and Prevention. Doctor Xu said that they had made similar experiments, such as affixing3 mosquito repellent wave equipment to watches and other accessories. But the results are never good or worthwhile pursuing. In addition, mosquitoes in different regions and areas have different features, the same mosquito repellent software would have obvious limitations.

 

Doctor Xu added that the mosquito rampaging season will last until about October in Shanghai, and he advises citizens to use mosquito coils or liquid medicine to get rid of the insects, not their beloved Nokia!
