Well, personally I think foot odor, if bad enough, could stop anything.

Well apparently, malaria carrying mosquitoes have a foot fetish, and prefer to feast from a person’s foot.  Researchers feel by messing with the mosquitoes’ sense of smell, then they will be less likely to bite and transfer malaria and other diseases.

Stinky feet could pave the way for better ways to stop mosquitoes.
