In a field like mechatronics, you'll likely want to get your master's degree, anyway. It is a perfect master's degree subject because you already have your engineering fundamentals down and can specialize with a strong safety net behind you.
First, mosquitoes are most prevalent at dusk and dawn, especially in warm humid weather. Try to wear long sleeves in a light fabric at those times. When dressing for a hot summer night, get out your white, khaki, olive and beige clothes. Mosquitoes are least attracted to those colors, but sporting an outfit in red, black, or a bright floral will lead to a mosquito attack. They also prefer biting the cooler skin of our extremities, so protecting ankles, feet and arms are the first line of defense.
Lab studies suggest that 20 percent of people are high attractor types, he says. Mosquitoes are highly visual, especially later in the afternoon, and their first mode of search for humans is through vision, explains Day. People dressed in dark colors -- black, navy blue, red -- stand out and movement is another cue. Once the mosquito keys in on a promising visual target, she (and it's always she -- only the ladies bite) then picks up on smell. The main attractor is your rate of carbon dioxide production with every exhale you take.
