You may have noticed many times that certain people are bitten more by mosquitoes. There is a scientific reason for this. Mosquito bites depend on many factors, such as your blood type, metabolic rate, skin bacteria and the clothes you wear.
Sweating- Mosquitoes like sweat and lactic acid, so people who sweat a lot are bitten by mosquitoes. So, take a bath after sweating a lot.
Alcohol consumption - According to a study, people who drink a lot of alcohol are attracted to mosquitoes. So either reduce your alcohol addiction or take measures to prevent mosquitoes.
Metabolic rate- The metabolic rate determines the amount of carbon dioxide released from our body. Its pungent odor attracts mosquitoes. Female mosquitoes in particular can detect this odor much earlier.
Pregnant women - According to a study, pregnant women release more carbon dioxide than other individuals. Therefore, mosquitoes bite pregnant women more.
Bacteria in the skin - There are many types of bacteria in the skin. Sometimes mosquitoes are attracted to it and bite you. This is because there are certain types of bacteria, which attract mosquitoes.
People with blood type-O are also more attracted to mosquitoes. In addition, people with blood type A are also somewhat attracted to mosquitoes.
Clothing color: According to scientists, mosquitoes are also attracted to the color of clothing to some extent. Mosquitoes are mainly attracted to bright colors.
