Spider Loves that Sweaty Sock Smell



A Sock Drawer reader has alerted me to a recent study about spiders, mosquitoes, and stinky socks. According to a recent article on the LiveScience website, stinky, smelly socks attract mosquitoes (so they can feed on ankles), spiders (so they can feed on mosquitoes), and people (so they can feed on...just kidding. The presence of mosquitoes and spiders indicate the socks should be washed more frequently).
