Foreword: It turns out that the biggest nemesis of mosquitoes is not mosquito coils! Summer is here, so you can sleep peacefully with your windows open all night!
Time flies, and summer is here in the blink of an eye. When you think of summer, what comes to mind? There are hot sunshine weather, appetizing watermelon, cool and thorough sorbet, delicious crayfish and all kinds of supper, delicious various fruit cold drinks, etc., and of course, the "buzzing" mosquitoes.
As soon as summer comes, I believe that many friends have been sent "red envelopes" by mosquitoes, and when they get up to sleep, they are covered with red envelopes bitten by mosquitoes, as well as scratches on their nails, and because mosquitoes have been "buzzing", they can't sleep all night, and they have severe insomnia, and they get up to work the next day with a big panda eye. So as soon as summer arrives, the "human-mosquito war" kicks off.
Presumably, some friends have also discovered that they seem to attract mosquitoes more easily than their friends, why is this? To know why, we need to know the habits of mosquitoes, which not only bite and suck blood, but also transmit diseases in addition to harassing the human body. There are four kinds of diseases transmitted by mosquitoes in the mainland, so mosquitoes have to be guarded against. As the saying goes, "knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is invincible", only after we understand the habits of mosquitoes, can we have a countermeasure, in order to "defeat" mosquitoes and protect ourselves.
One: Where mosquitoes like to live
Mosquitoes like damp and shady places, and like to inhabit in dark and poorly ventilated places, such as under the bed, behind the cabinet, behind the door, in the wall cracks, livestock houses, basements, etc., and outdoors in the grass, caves, cellars, bridge holes, stone crevices, etc. Therefore, we generally see fewer mosquitoes during the day, and when we play in the suburbs, there are many mosquitoes at the water's edge and in places with many weeds. At home, it is generally at night when the lights are turned off, the sound of mosquitoes buzzing sounds, and when the lights are turned on, it seems to disappear again. So we try to go to places with bad light and humidity as little as possible.
Two: On what basis do mosquitoes lock on to their "targets":
The mosquito has a pair of tentacles and three pairs of feet, which are distributed with many whirling sensory hairs, which use these sensors to sense the temperature zone in the air and lock on to the target, and respond quickly according to the carbon dioxide, heat, volatile chemicals and other factors emitted by the human body to suck blood. Mosquitoes "buzz" around their ears because they rely on close proximity to perceive the smell in the air and pick their favorite targets.
Three: What kind of people do mosquitoes like?
Because mosquitoes are looking for targets based on the smell in the air, and contain more amino acids, lactic acid and ammonia compounds, it is easy to attract mosquitoes, so the following types of people are loved by mosquitoes:
1: People with large lung capacity: This is because people with large lung capacity breathe out more carbon dioxide than the average person, and mosquitoes just like the taste of carbon dioxide;
2: Obese or sweaty people: The average obese person has a lot of fat and is very easy to sweat, and the sweat has the smell that mosquitoes like;
3: People who like makeup: there is a certain flavor in cosmetics, and mosquitoes perceive this smell and like to revolve around the target;
4: People who wear dark clothes: As mentioned above, mosquitoes like to be dark and have a habit of darkening, so dark clothes such as black, blue, green, and red are also the objects that mosquitoes like.
5: Infants: Because children are easy to sweat, and there is a milky smell on the body, this is actually called a compound amino acid mixture, mosquitoes will be more sensitive to this smell, and children's skin is delicate, mosquito bites will not have much action to drive away mosquitoes, mosquito bites effortlessly.
6: People who drink alcohol: Because the breath exhaled by people who drink alcohol contains more octanol than the average person, the octanol decomposition will emit more fragrance, thus attracting mosquitoes.
The above types of people are more favored by mosquitoes, so now that I know it, I ask how to prevent it"?
4. Common mosquito prevention methods:
Install curtains and curtains at doors and windows to keep mosquitoes out, and install a mosquito net indoors for double insurance; Usually take a bath frequently, change clothes frequently, wash off the smell that mosquitoes like, and wear light-colored long clothes and trousers after bathing; In addition, you can also use electric mosquito coils, mosquito repellent, etc.; At the same time, the hygiene of the home can not be ignored, to keep the room clean and bright, do not leave dead corners of water, do not leave mosquitoes to breed area, reduce the number of mosquitoes.
Five: The following is the anti-mosquito tips that the elderly at home told me:
Because mosquitoes are based on the smell of perception to lock the target, we can use garlic to prevent mosquitoes, people who like to eat garlic can eat more garlic, after eating garlic will emit a special smell in our body, called methollyl sulfide, this smell will make mosquitoes avoid it.
If we can't eat garlic, we can also slice garlic and put it at the head of the bed, or get some garlic water to apply it to the skin; Of course, if you feel that the smell of garlic is too pungent, we can put it away, put it on the window or apply it to the screen, and the mosquitoes will not enter the room when they smell the smell.
