I hope these mosquitoes were not released in the wild.

The simple answer would be to add a natural strongly repellent gentle oil to the DEET spray.

Yeah, I would not be surprised if this learned behavior is passed on epigenetically. This is almost like gain of function research potentially.

A couple years back, I spray some DEET on my shoes, 5 seconds later, a tiger mosquito tried to bite me on that spot (and yes on the shoe itself, just insane to see it trying ).

They already loved that shit.

At that point just skip the deet.

Spray made from lemon eucalyptus works[1]. Not as well as DEET, but it works.
