How about beer and sugar to repel mosquitoes?

Summer is the season when mosquitoes are rampant. The appearance of a large number of mosquitoes has brought great harm to people's health, because mosquito bites can cause skin damage, and some mosquitoes carry bacteria and viruses, which can easily cause epidemic outbreaks. Therefore, insect repellent is a very important method. Many people have heard that beer plus sugar has the effect of repelling insects. Let's take a look at how beer and sugar repel mosquitoes.

Mosquitoes have a strong sense of smell. When humans exhale carbon dioxide and other odors, these odors spread into the air, and these odors are like dinner bells, telling mosquitoes that a delicious meal is just around the corner. When a mosquito tracks its target, it always moves forward in a zigzag manner following the scent exhaled by the person until it contacts the target. It then lands on the skin and patiently looks for a "breakthrough" before finally inserting the "needle" directly into the skin to suck blood for 8-10 seconds.

1. Most people will experience symptoms such as redness, swelling, itching and pain after being bitten by mosquitoes. At this time, alkaline substances can be used to relieve the symptoms. For example, ammonia water can be used to relieve the itching, or soap dipped in water can be applied to the red and swollen area, which can relieve the itching within minutes.

2. If the bite is very itchy, flick it with your fingers first, and then apply floral water, wind oil, etc.

3. Apply or soak the itchy area with salt water, which can soften the swelling and effectively relieve itching.

4. The juice in aloe leaves can be used to relieve itching. If the area becomes red, swollen and itchy after being bitten by a mosquito, you can cut a small piece of aloe vera leaf, wash it, break it apart, and apply it to the red and swollen area a few times to reduce the swelling and relieve the itching.
