Many people complain, 'Why do mosquitoes bite me so much?' This question may sound funny. But there is a serious scientific reason behind this. Just like we like a certain smell or taste, mosquitoes prefer certain smells or body heat when choosing their prey.
According to a recent study by Rockefeller Laby, female mosquitoes determine their prey by sensing the smell, heat and carbon dioxide emitted from the human body. It was said that people who eat a lot of sweet foods, garlic and bananas are more likely to be bitten by mosquitoes. But in a new inquiry, it is said that body odor is the main cause of mosquito bites. Which is related to bacteria and fatty acids in our skin.
The attraction of mosquitoes: body odor
There are many types of microscopic bacteria on the skin of our body. These bacteria determine our body odor. And this smell depends on what kind of food we are eating. Substances like oil, nuts, fish, eggs in our food make fatty acids in the body. Which affects our body odor. Mosquitoes decide who to bite by smelling this smell.
Effects of carbon dioxide and heat
Mosquitoes feel not only the smell, but also the carbon dioxide and heat released from the body. Therefore, those who sweat a lot or whose body temperature is high, mosquitoes bite them a lot. How to avoid
?
If you are also bitten by mosquitoes, change your diet. Eat less greasy or fatty foods. Bathe twice a day and use perfume.
mosquito repellants, use incense, liquid. Wear light clothing while sleeping at night and try to cover most of the body area.
