Help! Consumer Reports is run by mad scientists who subject hapless humans to their cruel experiments — all in the name of determining which bug repellent works the best. Ok, so the testers are paid professionals and the bugs are disease-free. It sounds more fun the other way, doesn’t it?

Our power-mad cousins at CR Health have put together a video showing the mosquito and tick repellent testing procedure. Just watching it makes us itchy. Enjoy.
