In hot summer, mosquitoes always make people hate itching gums. Are you the one they like to attack the most? 'who do mosquitoes like to bite?' ask people around you. The answer is really multifarious. So which people are most popular with mosquitoes? How to repel mosquitoes in summer?
It is believed that mosquitoes love to bite women's' sex don't tell '; mosquitoes love to bite O-type blood's' blood type theory'; mosquitoes love to bite smooth, white and tender skin's' good or bad skin theory '; and mosquitoes love to bite blood's' blood sweet and bitter theory'.
So, who will be particularly attracted to mosquitoes?
1. People who emit much carbon dioxide
People breathe faster when they are engaged in sports or physical work, so they breathe more carbon dioxide. Mosquitoes are more sensitive to this. Therefore, in the crowd, people with large lung capacity, fat people and people with heavy breath are more likely to be bitten by mosquitoes.
2. People with developed sweat glands
People who like to sweat attract mosquitoes. There is a acceptor in the antennae of a mosquito, which is very sensitive to temperature. As long as there is a little change in temperature difference, it can immediately feel it.
Sweating human body has fast heat dissipation, which will also attract mosquitoes. Sweat discharged by human body volatilizes in the air, and can also send a 'signal' to mosquitoes. Therefore, people who sweat a lot and are prone to sweat are more likely to be attacked by mosquitoes.
3. People in dark clothes
Mosquitoes are afraid of light but don't like the light too dark. They like to suck blood in low light environment. During the day, when people are wearing dark clothes, the reflected light is darker, just like it is. In addition, mosquitoes like to bite people with high temperature, while dark clothes have strong heat absorption ability. When several factors are added together, the mosquito attraction index of dark clothes will increase greatly.
The human body sends signals to attract mosquitoes
The research shows that: what mosquito likes to bite is not directly related to blood type, gender, etc., but mainly depends on the strength of the human body's ability to send 'signals' to mosquitoes. Strong' signals' can be transmitted through the air, which can guide it to find food conveniently.
Temperature, light, sound and smell are the four factors that affect mosquito blood absorption.
Generally speaking, mosquitoes bite from 16 ℃ ~ 17 ℃, and 23 ℃ ~ 39 ℃ is the most suitable temperature.
When the mosquito tracks its target, it always twists and turns along with the human breath until it touches the target, then it falls on the skin and patiently looks for a 'breakthrough', and finally inserts the 'needle tube' directly into the skin to suck blood for 8-10 seconds.
Don't look down on mosquitoes that are less than one centimeter long. They have a strong search ability. Within the search range, the stronger the 'signal' target, the easier it is to be locked by them.
Mosquito repellent method in summer
1. Take a bath as soon as possible after exercise to keep your skin fresh.
2. If there are many mosquitoes in the daily activity place, wear long sleeved clothes. The function of clothes is mainly to cover the smell of sweat and other skin secretions, so that mosquitoes can not track it.
3. It is better to wear white or light colored clothes for outdoor sports.
4. Don't wear socks in summer because it's too hot, which will make sweat smell volatilize quickly and attract mosquitoes.
5. Mosquito repellent water should not be shared with sunscreen, because the ingredients of mosquito repellent water are mainly mosquito repellent amine and alcohol, which will reduce or even completely offset the effect of mosquito repellent.
