Mosuitoe bite reason

Mosquitoes are living organisms that  coexist with humans. Mosquitoes are human ticks and are common in hot weather. Do you know that only the female mosquito bites whereas male mosquitoes do not suck human blood.

Reasons of Mosquitoes Bite?

Know that if you are often bitten by mosquitoes then it is the female mosquito. Moreover, if you are more prone to be bitten by mosquitoes then there are scientific reasons behind that.

Carbon dioxide

Mosquitoes have the ability to detect the presence of carbon dioxide around them. People who emit a lot of carbon dioxide due to exercise or being in heat. Emissions of carbon dioxide indicate to mosquitoes that humans are present nearby. So those who emit carbon dioxide due to exercise or other physical activity, mosquitoes also bite them more frequently.

Body Odor

Mosquitoes love certain wastes of the human body. During the summer, the human body becomes sweaty and the smell of sweat is favourable to mosquitoes. By the smell of the mouth, the mosquito bites.  In addition to the mouth, the activity of certain bacteria in the skin of the human body also causes mosquitoes to act and suck human blood. It should be noted that if there are different microbes in the skin of the human body, including bacteria, then mosquitoes do not come close, but if the microbes are the same, then mosquitoes like the skin of the human body.

Skin Creams

Lactic acid also attracts mosquitoes and lactic acid is mostly found in skin care creams.

Blood Group ‘O’

Research has shown that mosquitoes are more attracted to the  blood group ‘O’. Certain types of elements are found in such blood that attract mosquitoes. Researchers believe that mosquitoes do not have the ability to digest all types of blood groups. They are more inclined to bite people with low blood sugar levels.

High Cholesterol Level

Mosquitoes bite more people whose cholesterol level is high.

Colors

It has been found through research that dark colors like black, blue, and red also attract mosquitoes. People with a darker skin tone or wearing a black coloured cloth are more susceptible to mosquito bites. This holds true for a person wearing dark clothes as well.

Heat and water vapor

The human body produces special heat. An environment that is both warm and humid is a happy place for mosquitoes. So people whose skin remains hot are bitten more frequently by the mosquitoes.

Beer and Alcohol

People who drink alcohol are equally susceptible to a mosquito bite. A small study this year found that alcoholics were more likely to be bitten by mosquitoes. Mosquitoes are also increasingly attracted by beer drinkers as it increases the ethanol in sweat  that  attracts mosquitoes.

Pregnancy

Research has also shown that pregnant women are more likely to be bitten by mosquito nets  than non-pregnant women. It is because pregnant women have high body temperature.

Perfume and Deo

If you have applied perfume or deodorant then mosquitoes will bite you more because the scent attracts mosquitoes.
