There are
two people in the same room. Mosquitoes have gone mad to eat one's blood, but
there are not many mosquitoes around the other. The first man slaps his body
one after the other and wonders why the other man is not bothered by
mosquitoes.
Researchers
have found that people with blood group ‘O’ are more likely to be exposed to
mosquitoes. But that is not the only reason. There are other reasons why
mosquitoes come to a person at a higher rate. Here are five common causes of
mosquito bites.
For those
who wear red, black or dark blue clothing: The bad news for those who wear
wardrobes in black clothes: Mosquitoes are more attracted to this color of
clothing. Unity Point Health's blog Livewell said in an interview. Nicole L.
Baumann Blackmore said, "Wearing black, dark blue or red will make you a
mosquito magnet, meaning mosquitoes will be more attracted to you."
Beer
drinkers: Many people have a habit of drinking beer. But another shocking news
is that mosquitoes are eager to eat the blood of those who drink beer. Dr.
"One study found that beer drinkers were more likely to be bitten by
mosquitoes," Blackmore said.
Those who
sweat more: Sweating is a natural process of cooling the body. But research has
shown that the more people sweat, the more mosquitoes are attracted to them.
According to researchers, ammonia and lactic acid in sweat attract mosquitoes.
People who
feel hotter: People who feel hotter than others also get more mosquitoes.
Research has shown that those who had a higher body temperature, mosquito bites
more. Mosquitoes are more attracted when the body is warm due to regular
exercise. Susan Pasquitz, a professor of entomology at the University of
Wisconsin-Medicine, said: "Some skin chemicals, such as high body
temperature, respiratory carbon dioxide and lactic acid, help mosquitoes find
targets for blood consumption."
Those who
are pregnant: It is not uncommon for the body temperature to rise slightly
during pregnancy. During this time some body changes cause the body temperature
to rise slightly. This increase in body temperature of pregnant women also
attracts more mosquitoes. According to research published in the British
Medical Journal, mosquitoes bite twice as many pregnant women as non-pregnant
women.
