4. Take one or two aspirin tablets, grind them into powder, mix them with cold water to make a paste, and smear them on the affected area to relieve or eliminate the itch.
How effective are these methods? Let's listen to the experts.
Expert comments:
The first three of the above methods are suitable for acute pruritus such as mosquito bites. When the juice of watermelon and other vegetables and fruits and the ethanol in Huoxiang Zhengqi water evaporate, they can take away heat, shrink the capillary at the bite, reduce the area of inflammation, and achieve the purpose of relieving itching. In addition, the toothpaste contains menthol, and the borneol in menthol itself has the effect of cooling and relieving itching.
The vitamins in aspirin and porridge film help to stop itching. Some aspirin contains vitamin C, congee film contains vitamin B1, B2, B6, B vitamins and vitamin C are generally used to treat skin diseases, so it is also suitable for mosquito bites.
In addition, some people use ash mixed with water or soapy water and washing powder to stop itching. Experts point out that they contain alkaline substances, which can neutralize the secretion of mosquito bites. But because the wounds of mosquito bites are very small, this method is not very suitable.
Some people use garlic, onion and ginger to stop itching. Experts say these methods are anesthetic. They are mostly used for old skin itching. They are not recommended to deal with mosquito bites.
How to win the summer mosquito 'Resistance War'
1. If the bite is itchy, you can first flick it with your fingers, and then smear it with dew, essential balm, etc. You can't scratch after being bitten. We will catch the mosquito immediately. However, after scratching, the tissue fluid and lymph in the skin ooze out and swell into a bag, which will become more and more itchy. Moreover, it is not easy to subside. The 'red bean legs' covered with red bags are just scratched out. If you insist on not scratching, generally 10 to 15 minutes later, the itch will obviously subside.
2. Use salt water to smear or bubble the itch, so as to soften the mass and effectively stop itching. The application of myrtle and salt can make local anesthesia and relieve nerves and relieve itching.
3. The juice in aloe leaf can be used to stop itching. After being bitten by mosquitoes, when the swelling is extremely itchy, you can cut a small piece of aloe leaf, clean it and break it off, and rub it on the swelling area for several times, then you can reduce the swelling and stop itching.
4. If you are sensitive to mosquito bites, you may as well take an antihistamine before going out. Finland recently reported that antihistamines block the immune response and can reduce the itch and swelling of mosquito bites. But the side effect of antihistamines is to want to sleep and avoid taking them by drivers. I don't agree with netizens to take antihistamine western medicine for fear of mosquito bites. In order to make mosquito bites itch, it's very important to suggest that you take western medicine easily, which will mislead your health!
5. As long as you are willing to change your diet of alkaline vegetables, your constitution and blood are slightly alkaline. Not only mosquitoes don't like to bite, but even after being bitten, they will not itch too much! If you bite, you can use your own slightly alkaline saliva to smear the mosquito bite, and it can also stop itching!
How to prevent mosquito bites in summer
1. Take a bath frequently, keep the skin fresh, and wipe off the sweat in time when sweating.
2. At the peak of mosquito activity, it is better to wear long sleeved clothes, which can mask the smell of sweat.
3. use less soap and perfume. Mosquitoes like to eat honeydew, so the chance of being bitten by mosquitoes will increase if perfume, cosmetics, cream and other floral scent are used.
4. Let yourself have some odor that mosquitoes don't like. Mosquitoes don't like the smell of bay leaf, lemon grass oil, citronella and geraniol.
5. Eat more vegetables. Some vegetables contain odors that mosquitoes don't like, such as vegetables with carotene and spicy vegetables like garlic. After people eat them, mosquitoes will stay away from you.
6. It's better to wear light colored clothes for outdoor sports. Aedes (also known as spotted mosquito) prefers to stop on black clothes.
7. Try to wear socks. Many children like to wear shoes barefoot, but they don't know that after wearing socks, mosquitoes will feel that people's skin humidity is reduced, the volatiles on the skin surface are reduced, and the bites will be reduced.
8. Place several boxes of uncovering cool oil and essential balm indoors, or one or two basins of blooming night primrose, jasmine, Milan, mint or rose, etc. mosquitoes will avoid because they can't bear their smell.
