Summer is slowly coming, whether it is a sunny day with a gradually rising temperature or a dull and wet rainy day, you can receive the common enemy of human beings - the "big red envelope" of mosquitoes. Friends in the south are even more disturbed!
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" > don't want to be bitten mercilessly by mosquitoes. </h1>
Myth one: Vitamin B1 water can kill mosquitoes
Vitamin B1 smells faint and tastes bitter, which is one of the reasons why people are willing to believe that vitamin B1 can prevent mosquitoes. Smells that humans don't like may not be disliked by mosquitoes either. But in fact, the smell of sweat that humans don't like is more attractive to mosquitoes. This verifies from the side that the properties of vitamin B1 cannot be convincing as a factual basis.
Second, the water solubility of vitamin B1, although strong, poses another problem. It is not stable in water, afraid of heat, and easy to decompose when it sees light. The practice of dissolving vitamin B1 in water and spraying it is even more unreliable.
Myth two: O blood is more resistant to mosquitoes
Mosquito bites have nothing to do with human blood type, but are mainly related to carbon dioxide, heat, and odors emitted by people. The blood type is determined by the antigens on the surface of the body's red blood cells and is divided into different types according to the different antigens. Mosquitoes cannot perceive differences in antigens. Therefore, there is no scientific basis for the statement that "mosquito bites are related to blood type". Normally, mosquitoes look for targets mainly through carbon dioxide, heat, and emitted odors.
Myth three: ultraviolet rays can kill mosquitoes
Those killed by mosquito lamps are cousins of blood-sucking mosquitoes, rocking mosquitoes! The mosquitoes belong to the family Ofopteridae, commonly known as non-biting midges, which translates to non-biting midges. The main blood-sucking mosquitoes are: Culex pale, Anopheles p. chinensis, and Aedes albopictus. They are all mosquitoes, belonging to a different family than the rocking mosquito.
The so-called ultraviolet energy "mosquito" is actually interfering with the "navigation" system of flying insects, because many flying insects fly during the day rely on the ultraviolet rays of the sun to navigate, and the mosquitoes that are extinguished are flying insects that like to travel during the day and are sensitive to ultraviolet rays.
Stop believing that ultraviolet rays can kill mosquitoes and spend money to buy ultraviolet anti-mosquito lamps!!! If ultraviolet rays are really useful, how can mosquitoes still send you "red envelopes" on sunny days with strong light?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" > so how do we properly kill mosquitoes? Next, I will introduce you to the powerful weapon ~~~</h1>~
A Chemical "weapon"
a kill type
1. Insecticides
Lethality: High
Advantages: Quick results
Disadvantages: The concentration is too high when harmful to the body
Recommendation: Use and ventilate well before bedtime
2. Traditional mosquito coils
Pros: Affordable
Disadvantages: smoke is larger, air pollution is serious and some mosquito coils even release high concentrations of formaldehyde
(Disc mosquito coils in the process of insufficient combustion will produce a large number of aldehyde substances, including the well-known Class 1 carcinogen "formaldehyde")
Recommendation: Open the window for ventilation when using!
3. Electric mosquito liquid
Lethality: Stronger
Pros: Convenient
Disadvantages: Indoor TVOC exceeds the standard
(The main ingredient in mosquito coil liquid is alcohol, ester and other volatile agents.) These volatile agents are characterized by their volatile tendency, which can help the insecticide spread into the air, and also cause indoor TVOC to exceed the standard. Although the volatiles in mosquito coils are basically non-toxic, the accumulation of insecticides, volatiles, etc. in the environment may also lead to some uncomfortable symptoms in infants, young children and pregnant women)
Recommendation: Ventilation and ventilation, timely closure
b-Drive type
Mosquito repellent bracelet, mosquito repellent cream, mosquito repellent water, mosquito repellent stickers, etc
Pros: Easy to carry outdoors
Disadvantages: The effective time is 2-6 hours, and it should be used frequently
Common mosquito repellent ingredients are DEET, mosquito repellent esters, paicaride, lemon eucalyptus leaf oil, without these ingredients, the repellent effect will be a question mark.
In fact, not all flower dew water has mosquito repellent and anti-mosquito effects, depending on whether there are mosquito repellent ingredients in the flower dew water.

B Physical "Weapon"
Electric mosquito beat
Pros: Extinguish quickly
Cons: Rely on eyesight and sensitivity as well as luck
Mosquito nets, fans, etc
Pros: Affordable
Disadvantages: The scope of protection is small
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" Data-track="3" Who do mosquitoes love >? </h1>
1. People who wear dark clothes
Mosquitoes are diurnal and nocturnal, because of their darkening habits, prefer weak light. Dark-colored clothes reflect weaker light, and light-colored clothes reflect stronger light, so dark-colored clothes are more likely to attract mosquitoes than light-colored clothes.
In addition, the surface of dark clothes is more absorbent than that of light colors, which will affect body temperature, and people with elevated body temperature are more likely to sweat and are more likely to attract mosquitoes.
2. People with high body temperature and love to sweat
After exercise or sweating, the breath is more pronounced, and carbon dioxide increases, so people who love sports or obesity are more likely to attract mosquitoes.
3. People with fast metabolism
In pregnant women or people on menstrual leave, endocrine changes are more likely to attract mosquitoes.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" > Notes:</h1>
1. Avoid mosquito bites, try not to wear dark colors, such as black, blue, red and other bright and obvious clothes, go to places with mosquitoes and recommend long-sleeved pants.
2. Many mosquito repellent products contain alcohol or other ingredients that are not suitable for people with allergies and are not suitable for infants, young children or pregnant women. It is best for special people to use physical mosquito repellent.
