Weird as it may look, Mundari and Dinka tribes of South Sudan take
showers with cow urine because they think it's antiseptic and frees
them from parasites and mosquitoes.

====================

"Mosquitoes were more attracted to people whose body odours contained
more carboxylic acids (likely produced by skin microbes), over those
with lower levels of carboxylic acids and elevated levels of
eucalyptol (potentially related to a person's diet)."

Footnote - "The researchers were surprised by how effectively the
mosquitoes could locate and choose between potential human meals
within the huge arena."

They go for me every time; I must smell yummy. But I'm reluctant to source
cow urine. (There are probably scammers out there passing off dog pee).
