Rabbits and Mosquitoes

Published in the Waukegan Daily Sun, Waukegan, Illinois on Friday, February 24, 1922

Careful observations have been made, in France, of the extent to which mosquitoes are attracted to domestic animals in preference to human beings. It was proved experimentally that mosquitoes have a strong predilection for the blood of rabbits, stronger than for that of any other domestic animal. The discovery has practically applied to many parts of France as a protection from mosquitoes, and particularly from those that carry germs of malaria and similar diseases.-Popular Mechanics Magazine.
