Georgia Tech researchers used a functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) machine to monitor participants' brain activity and heart rate.

Key Points: 
  • Georgia Tech researchers used a functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) machine to monitor participants' brain activity and heart rate.
  • Inside the fMRI machine, researchers showed participants a series of video clips depicting insects and animals in different environments.
  • They were shown common household pests (including cockroaches, bed bugs, flies, spiders and rodents), as well as video clips of "frightening" animals (including sharks, lions and crocodiles).
  • Common household pests can be more than a "disgusting" nuisance; they can also be a health threat.

Unfortunately, such outdoor events also come with flies, ants and other insects, all of which tend to swarm around the food in question, making it unappetizing and even inedible.

Key Points: 
  • Unfortunately, such outdoor events also come with flies, ants and other insects, all of which tend to swarm around the food in question, making it unappetizing and even inedible.
  • An inventor from Chicago, Ill., has invented ULTIMATE FOOD PROTECTOR, a device that protects foods from flies, bees, ants, etc., during various outdoor occasions.
  • "Recently, I was entertaining guests and became frustrated that they kept lifting the lid on the food to see what it was, leaving it exposed to the elements," said the inventor.
  • ULTIMATE FOOD PROTECTOR protects and displays foods, prepared or unprepared, from insects, bugs, dust or other debris while also allowing undividuals to view the food without removing a cover.
