There are two people in the same room. Mosquitoes have gone crazy to eat one's blood, but there are not many mosquitoes around the other. The first man slaps his body one after the other and wonders why the other man is not bothered by mosquitoes.
Researchers have found that people with blood group 'O' are more prone to mosquitoes. But that is not the only reason. There are other reasons why mosquitoes come to a person at a higher rate. Here are five common causes of mosquito bites.
For those who wear red, black or dark blue clothing: The bad news for those who wear wardrobes in black clothes: Mosquitoes are more attracted to this color of clothing. Unity Point Health's blog Livewell said in an interview. "Wearing black, dark blue or red will make you a mosquito magnet," said Nicole L. Bowman Blackmore.
Beer drinkers: Many people have a habit of drinking beer. But another shocking news is that mosquitoes are eager to eat the blood of those who drink beer. Dr. "One study found that beer drinkers were more likely to be bitten by mosquitoes," Blackmore said.
Those who sweat more: Sweating is a natural process of cooling the body. But research has shown that the more people sweat, the more mosquitoes are attracted to them. According to researchers, ammonia and lactic acid in sweat attract mosquitoes.
People who feel hotter: People who feel hotter than others also get more mosquitoes. Research has shown that those who had a higher body temperature, mosquito bites more. Mosquitoes are more attracted when the body is warm due to regular exercise. Susan Pasquitz, a professor of entomology at the University of Wisconsin-Medicine, said: "Some chemicals in the skin, such as high body temperature, respiratory carbon dioxide and lactic acid, help mosquitoes find targets to eat blood."
Those who are pregnant: It is not uncommon for the body temperature to rise slightly during pregnancy. During this time some body changes cause the body temperature to rise slightly. This increase in body temperature of pregnant women also attracts more mosquitoes. According to research published in the British Medical Journal, mosquitoes bite twice as many pregnant women as non-pregnant women.
