> Or are you suggesting something so potent it absorbs into your bloodstream and then prevents bug bites

That’s what the medicated pet collars do.

Part of the advantage of collar-absorption is that you can use a molecule that readily breaks down/inactivates in digestion. And avoid sharp peaks in blood levels.



I knew a woman who was highly amused that the cancer drug she was on caused mosquitoes to die instantaneously upon biting her.

Tough woman. She is missed.
