What are the methods to prevent mosquito bites

Summer is the time when there are the most mosquitoes, especially at night. If you don’t pay attention to protection methods, you will be bitten and unable to sleep. Therefore, it is necessary to learn some methods to prevent mosquito bites. There are many ways to prevent mosquito bites. Of course, you must find a method that suits you and is convenient. In addition, some people are often "attended" by mosquitoes due to the smell of their body sweat and other reasons. Let's take a look at some convenient prevention methods below.

If several mosquitoes are together and only one of them bites you, it is mainly related to the smell. You should also eat something that mosquitoes hate the smell: take vitamin B1. If you are going to the wild, take it 3-4 days in advance. People can't feel it, but mosquitoes can't stand the smell and will stay away from you. It is said to be very effective.

Soaking vitamin B1 in water and rubbing it on your body can also keep mosquitoes away. This water-soluble vitamin has no side effects. The excess amount is completely excreted from the body and will not be stored in the human body. Use two pieces of star anise and fennel from the seasoning, soak them in a basin of warm water, and use the water to take a bath. Mosquitoes will not dare to approach you.

Lighting dry orange peels indoors can replace mosquito repellent, which can not only repel mosquitoes but also eliminate odors in the house. Wear light-colored clothing. Aedes mosquitoes (also known as spotted mosquitoes) like to land on black clothes the most. So try to wear lighter colored clothes in the hot summer.

Wear socks whenever possible. Many people like to wear shoes barefoot in the summer, but they don’t know that after wearing socks, mosquitoes feel that the humidity of human skin is lower and the volatile substances on the skin surface are reduced, so they will bite less.

Do not scratch after being bitten. If you are bitten by a mosquito, catch it immediately. However, after scratching, the tissue fluid, lymph fluid, etc. in the skin will seep out and swell into a bag. The more you scratch, the more it will itch, and it will not be easy to subside. This is how the "red bean legs" covered with red bags are caused by scratching. If you persist in not scratching, the itching will generally subside significantly after 10 to 15 minutes.

The above methods can effectively prevent mosquito bites. In addition, you should also be careful when spraying some mosquito repellent. If the mosquito repellent contains chemical ingredients such as pesticides, although it is very effective, it is recommended not to use it, especially mosquito coils. Lighting a plate of mosquito coils is equivalent to a person smoking more than two boxes of cigarettes, which is very harmful to the human body. Therefore, it is recommended to use some green and environmentally friendly methods.
