1. Take a bath as soon as possible after exercise to keep your skin fresh. It's hot and sweaty, so wipe off the sweat with paper towels and handkerchiefs in time.
2. If there are many mosquitoes in daily activities, wear long-sleeved clothes. This is not because mosquitoes can't stick needles in it to suck blood with an extra layer of cloth. In fact, the needles of mosquitoes are very sharp, even cowhide and thick jeans can penetrate, and the clothes worn in summer are simply unbearable. The function of clothes is mainly to cover up the smell of skin secretions such as sweat, so that mosquitoes can't track it. 3. It is best to wear white clothes for outdoor sports, because white clothes have strong reflective ability and can drive away Aedes mosquitoes.
Don't wear socks because it is too hot in summer, which will make the sweat evaporate quickly and attract mosquitoes to attack other parts of the human body. Wearing socks with good sweat absorption effect can not only effectively reduce skin humidity, but also cover up odor.
5. It is not advisable to use irritating cosmetics such as perfume in places where there are many mosquitoes. Mosquitoes like people with dark or red skin. Mosquitoes do have this "food preference". This is not because some people think that their skin is tender and their blood is sweet, which attracts mosquitoes. The main reason is that some of their breaths attract mosquitoes.
Generally speaking, mosquitoes have a soft spot for the following people:
First, people with developed sweat glands and high body temperature. People who like sweating, the acidity in the blood increases, and the sweat discharged makes the body surface yellow. Moderator, please delete the high acid value, which is attractive to mosquitoes. In addition, mosquitoes have a heated body in their antennae, which is very sensitive to temperature. As long as the temperature difference changes a little, it can be detected immediately. People who sweat lose heat quickly and attract mosquitoes.
Second, people who are tired or breathing faster. People will breathe faster after engaging in sports or manual labor. Some people have larger lung capacity or faster breathing rhythm. In this way, the exhaled carbon dioxide is more, and the carbon dioxide gas will form a moist and warm airflow at the height of 1 m above the head. Mosquitoes are sensitive to this and will smell it. This shows that your body is overwhelmed, so you should go home and rest immediately, and don't overdraw your physical strength, so as not to cause more problems.
Third, people who like to wear dark clothes. Mosquitoes don't sleep during the day and go out at night, mainly because they have the habit of dark. If they wear dark clothes, they will have a black shadow at night, and mosquitoes will chase them to darker places. The color of clothes, such as black, is the first choice for mosquitoes to attack, followed by blue, red and green. Mosquitoes don't like to bite white. Similarly, mosquitoes like to bite people with dark skin or red skin. Children are easily bitten by mosquitoes, while old people are just the opposite. Fourth, people with fast metabolism. So children are easily bitten by mosquitoes, while old people are just the opposite.
Fifth, people who have made up. In order to verify the allure of smell to mosquitoes, American scientists tested and analyzed more than 3,900 substances with olfactory instruments. It is found that hair gel, hand cream, facial cleanser and other cosmetics are very attractive to mosquitoes. Most cosmetics contain stearic acid (a fatty acid), so people who wear makeup are more favored by mosquitoes than those who don't wear makeup.
Of course, there are also some smells that mosquitoes hate. The smell of bay leaves, lemongrass oil, citronella, garlic and geraniol will keep mosquitoes away.
