A lot of North Korea’s roofs in Pyongyang are painted blue. Maybe they’re protecting themselves from Mountain D.E.W.. (media.conspiracies.win)

I seen in a comment somewhere that blue is suggested as a color to deter bugs. Seems there is some truth to it.

Odd part is they only talk about ceilings. But pay attention to the meta physical part.

A few years ago, I started getting calls about painting outdoor ceilings blue to repel insects. Well, it's called "haint blue" and may repel more than just insects, thus the name. The South Carolina Low Country, blue paint has been used on porch ceilings ands ome say this color blue extends daylight at dusk and helps keep bees, wasps and other insects away.** It seems to be a spiritual and cultural custom in the South.** In cities such as Savannah you will see the blue color painted on the door frames, porches and window sills of many homes. This blue/green color or “Haint Blue” is not only calming and aesthetically pleasing, but also it apparently helps repel bugs. It also has an important folk lore purpose of warding off evil spirits.

Came across this thread, seems legit?

This is a little aside, but I was eating some garlic for a "bug", and it made me think about how garlic wards off disease, and vampires. And it's because they thought vampirism was a blood disease that the myth came into play.

But at the same time, look at something like ivermectin. Treats parasites, and perhaps there's more to it (works for macro parasites AND viruses?). The mechanism of action is interesting. And from a holistic standpoint, it's interesting that the "parasitic class" revolted against a drug that is anti-parasitic. Like a vampire reacting to garlic.
