Mosquito season has begun. You must have felt this on your own skin. But no worries, there are ways to protect yourself from their attacks.
In addition to mosquito repellent, there are other tricks that can help you stay protected this summer.
Some of them below:
Mosquitoes love beer
On hot summer nights, there’s nothing better than a cold beer, but it’s better to drink it indoors. Why?
A study by Japanese scientists has found that consuming just one beer can make you a suitable target for mosquitoes.
According to the research, people who drank alcohol were more often attacked by mosquitoes, but it is not known why.
Mosquitoes don’t like perfume
Some perfumes, especially those with citrus notes, repel mosquitoes because they make it difficult for them to breathe.
You can keep them out of the house
Control mosquitoes in your home by placing proper window and door screens. Fix holes, watch out for cracks in windows and under the door.
Mosquitoes love heat, so it’s smart to turn on the air conditioning. A fan can also help, as it will repel mosquitoes.
Mosquitoes don’t like smoke
The smoke dulls their senses, making it difficult for them to find you.
You can use scented sticks for this, especially lavender scented ones.
They prefer zero blood type
Your attraction to mosquitoes is at least partly genetically based.
According to several studies, mosquitoes more often attack people with zero blood type. And this time, it is not known why.
Well, if you have zero blood type, be more cautious.
Mosquitoes love sweat
Mosquitoes are attracted to the bacteria and chemicals found in our sweat.
So if you get sweaty, take a shower as soon as possible to avoid the stings.
