  RT @WeatherProf: To put climate extremes into perspective we measure against the average. The sigma is the standard deviation of a normal distribution of expected values. In this case the heat dome sigma max is 4.4 – that means it’s outside of 99.99% of expected values or a 1/10,000+ chance (1/2)

• Repelling Bugs With The Essence Of Grapefruit
  Scientists are working on a new, natural bug repellent. It’s non toxic, non-greasy and smells like grapefruit. For insects it’s deadly but for humans it’s safe enough to drink.

  Nootkatone is also effective against ticks, and scientists think it will work against bed bugs, head lice and other insects, too.

  Moreover, nootkatone is so nontoxic you could drink it. In fact, it’s already an approved food additive, officially classed as "Generally Considered Safe." It’s also a natural ingredient in some foods.

  "If you’ve had a grapefruit, you’ve consumed some nootkatone," Dolan says, "or drank a Squirt, for instance."

  Dolan, who is leading a CDC team to develop nootkatone, says it could be put into soaps and sunscreens, so people wouldn’t have to apply a separate bug repellent.

  But that’s not all — it turns out that nootkatone could be both a repellent and an environmentally friendly pesticide. That’s because it doesn’t just repel bugs — it kills them.
