What should I do if I get bit by mosquitoes in autumn

Mosquitoes are extremely harmful to people's lives because they feed on human blood and use their sharp mouthparts to pierce human skin to suck blood. At the same time, they bring some dangerous viruses and other substances to the body, causing great harm to the body. Among all mosquitoes, autumn mosquitoes are the most powerful. Because autumn mosquitoes are about to hibernate, they will desperately suck blood. Let’s take a look at what to do if you are bitten by an autumn mosquito.

First, don’t slap mosquitoes to death.

If you find a mosquito biting you, don't grit your teeth in hatred and slap it decisively, leaving your hands covered in blood. This not only causes the mosquitoes to carry germs and cause infection, but also the mosquito blood stains are difficult to clear. Just drive away the mosquitoes that are sucking your blood, it's that tolerant.

Clean the bite with soapy water

After being bitten by a mosquito, we can immediately clean the wound with soapy water. If you have transparent soap at home, you can use it to clean it. The second choice is ordinary soap. If it is sulfur soap, it would be even better and the effect would be better than the other two soaps.

If the wound is red, swollen and bleeding, please wash it with light salt water

Normally, we don't notice when we are bitten by mosquitoes in time, resulting in redness, swelling and bleeding at the bite site. When encountering this situation, you can prepare 0.9% saline solution at home for disinfection and cleaning.

The wound is itchy and unbearable. Apply toothpaste

Sometimes when we are bitten by mosquitoes, we can't help scratching with our hands, which may cause the wound to become infected or in more serious situations. At this time, there is a little trick - you can squeeze a small amount of toothpaste and apply it to the wound, which has a better effect in relieving itching and disinfecting.

Some commonly used mosquito repellent products can also be used to treat wounds afterwards

The commonly used floral water in our family can be applied directly to the wound to relieve itching and swelling. You can also dilute the medicated oil in a basin of water and then soak or rinse the wound. This treatment is also very effective, especially for bumps caused by mosquito bites.
