Mosquitoes chasing and biting you is actually a dangerous signal

"Buzz buzz------" I'm here! My name is Xiaowen, I don't have a surname, I am a goddess-level mosquito among all mosquitoes. Although people hate us very much and try their best to kill us, but----for the sake of survival, we have no choice. It's not easy to pester and beg for food, I~~~~

1. People with well-developed sweat glands and higher body temperature

People who like to sweat have higher acidity in their blood. The sweat they secrete makes the lactic acid level on the body surface higher, making it attractive to mosquitoes. In addition, there is a heat-receiving body in the mosquito's antennae, which is very sensitive to temperature. It can immediately detect any temperature difference. People who sweat dissipate heat quickly and are also attractive to mosquitoes.

2. People who are tired or have a fast breathing rate

People's breathing will speed up after exercising or doing physical labor. Some people have a larger lung capacity or a faster breathing rhythm. This way, relatively more carbon dioxide is exhaled, and the carbon dioxide gas will form a moist and warm airflow about 1 meter above the head. Mosquitoes are sensitive to this and will come to you by smelling it. This means that your body can no longer bear the burden and you should go home and rest immediately. Do not overdraw your physical strength to avoid causing bigger problems.

3. People who like to wear dark clothes

The reason why mosquitoes hide during the day and come out at night is mainly because they have the habit of moving towards darkness. If you wear dark clothes, you will appear as a black shadow at night, and mosquitoes will chase you to darker places. Clothes colors such as black are the first choice for mosquitoes to attack, followed by blue, red, green, etc. Mosquitoes do not like to bite white. Similarly, mosquitoes like to bite people with darker or reddish skin. Especially the Aedes mosquito (also known as the flower mosquito).

4. People with fast metabolism

Therefore, children are more likely to be bitten by mosquitoes, while the opposite is true for the elderly.

5. People who wear makeup

Most cosmetics contain stearic acid (a type of fatty acid), so people who wear makeup are more "favored" by mosquitoes than those without makeup. Of course, there are some smells that mosquitoes hate. The smell of bay leaves, lemongrass oil, citronella, garlic and geraniol will keep mosquitoes away.

6. Pregnant women

Pregnant women are particularly susceptible to mosquitoes. A US medical study shows that pregnant women are particularly attractive to mosquitoes, and their chances of being bitten by mosquitoes are twice as high as other women.

7. Drinkers

People can also become vulnerable to mosquito attacks after drinking alcohol, eating beef or mutton, or taking blood pressure medication.
