In the summer, when mosquitoes are rampant, you will find a strange phenomenon: Hey, why do mosquitoes always favor me? In fact, you're not alone, about 20% of them are especially delicious to mosquitoes. Are these people because their skin is fresh and delicate, and their blood is sweeter? Or, are you the legendary type O blood that mosquitoes love most? Are you in the annoying cycle of mosquito harassment, mosquito fights every day?
In fact, there is no evidence that mosquitoes have the ability to distinguish blood types.
So, which groups of people are more in line with the taste of mosquitoes?
People who emit more carbon dioxide
Carbon dioxide excreted by the human body has a strong phagocytosis for mosquitoes. Mosquitoes rely primarily on their olfactory organs (the pair of small antennae) to sense human “information” in the air. Although the mosquito is less than 1 cm long, the search distance can reach 60 kilometers.
Within this range, organisms with stronger “signals” are naturally easier to become their targets. A person who emits more carbon dioxide has a relatively high concentration of carbon dioxide gathered around his body, and the “image” presented in the unique field of view of the mosquito will be clearer, which is convenient for the mosquito to track.
The sweat excreted by the human body volatilizes in the air, which is also a major “signal” to attract mosquitoes. In addition, people who like to sweat have higher levels of lactic acid in their blood and excrete sweat with higher acidity, which is also attractive to mosquitoes. Furthermore, the heated body in the antennae of mosquitoes is very sensitive to temperature changes, and the human body is constantly dissipating heat through the process of sweating. This temperature change is another big temptation for mosquitoes.
Because mosquitoes like people with strong metabolism, children are vulnerable to mosquito bites, and the elderly are not favored. Pregnant women are more unlucky. Pregnant women exhale 21% more than normal people, and the moist gas and carbon dioxide exhaled will attract a lot of mosquitoes. Moreover, the basal body temperature of pregnant women is also higher than ordinary people, which is more likely to provoke mosquitoes.
people who like makeup
Many perfumes containing stearic acid, hair sprays, face creams and other cosmetics with floral fragrance are very attractive to mosquitoes, and the chance of being bitten by mosquitoes will be greatly increased after applying these. Of course, there are also some odors that mosquitoes hate, such as bay leaves, lemongrass oil, garlic and other odors that attack mosquitoes as much as Dorian can kill some people.
people who like dark clothing
Mosquitoes like the dark and most like to suck blood in low light, so we often wake up overnight with bags all over us. During the day, when people wear dark clothes, the reflected light is darker, which is exactly what they want. And dark clothes have a strong ability to absorb heat, so black is the first choice for mosquitoes to attack, followed by blue, red, green, etc. Mosquitoes don't like white the most. In the same way, mosquitoes love to bite people with darker or redder skin.
Summer Mosquito Repellent Tips
1. After exercising and sweating, take a shower as soon as possible.
2. Eat more vegetables containing carotene, mosquitoes hate the smell. If you like strong flavors, garlic is also a good choice to ensure that mosquitoes will shy away from you.
3. Wear light-colored clothes that do not absorb heat or attract mosquitoes.
4. Put some plants at home that can beautify the scenery and are harmless to the human body, but are very annoying to mosquitoes, such as jasmine, mint, and lavender.
