Let's say a little goosebump-giving news. The British "Daily Express" published a report on May 31. In a village in southwestern Nicaragua, something like a tornado suddenly blew.
But not the wind, but mosquitoes. Countless mosquitoes didn't know why, suddenly gathered together, and looked like a brown tornado from a distance.
It is estimated that for people who attract mosquitoes, this must be a very mad scene. Why do some people especially attract mosquitoes?
This summer has only begun, and every day I am bitten by mosquitoes everywhere, and it is very itchy.
Some people say that people with type O blood attract mosquitoes, others say that people with high body temperature attract mosquitoes more, and some say that people with heavy moisture attract mosquitoes more.
In fact, these statements are not very accurate. Why do mosquitoes only bite people, not dogs? Many people have this experience, go out to walk the dog in the summer, come down in a circle, and they are bitten all over the bag, but the puppy may have nothing. Can mosquitoes really tell the difference between a person and a dog?
It turns out that it is not mosquitoes that can distinguish between humans and animals, because the compounds of human skin can make the "olfactory globulus" in the mosquito brain continue to be excited. This microorganism is the product of oxidation when the body's sebum comes into contact with air.
In the odor of other animals, the proportion of these molecules does not exceed 5%, but the content in the human body is particularly large. It is possible to reach up to 50%. This is because the human body is not covered with hair, and in order to protect the exposed skin, the human body has evolved a different sebum than animals, and this has become a signal for mosquitoes to identify people.
How to change the compounds on the surface of the human body so that you become intoxicating to mosquitoes?
People often use soaps, shower gels, perfumes and these products, which may change the characteristics of your skin's scent, and thus change your attraction to mosquitoes.
It is said that to avoid mosquitoes, you can pay more attention when choosing soap or shower gel, choose less floral and fruity aromas, or simply change a few cleaning products.
Of course, mosquito prevention and mosquito control is not only related to individuals, but also a major matter related to public health. Mosquitoes are vectors, such as dengue fever, Zika fever and other tropical epidemics, the main vector is mosquitoes. It is also important to create a clean and hygienic environment.
In the height of summer, mosquitoes are a considerable headache in people's lives. Do you have any mosquito repellents?
