Mosquitoes
The outbreak of mosquitoes has increased in the rainy season. Along with this, the risk of spreading dangerous diseases like dengue, malaria and chikungunya also increases due to mosquitoes. During this time, people take many measures to avoid mosquitoes. But mosquitoes bite beer drinkers more than ordinary people. A recent study has revealed that mosquitoes bite some people more and there are many reasons behind this including skin color, bacteria present on the skin.
Why do mosquitoes bite?
Let us tell you that there are more than 3500 species of mosquitoes, out of which only some female species of mosquitoes bite humans. Because female mosquitoes need protein for their eggs and mosquitoes get protein from human blood. This is the reason why mosquitoes bite people with a needle-like sting on the skin. After a mosquito bite, there is itching, swelling and other serious infections on the skin. Dengue, malaria and chikungunya are diseases spread by mosquitoes, which affect people.
Mosquitoes bite these special people
In some situations, mosquitoes also bite some special people. Dr. Jagdish Khubchandani, Professor of Public Health at New Mexico State University, America, told Medical News Today that some studies have discussed the reasons for mosquitoes being attracted to humans. These have revealed that mosquitoes bite some people more due to body odor, skin color, skin temperature and texture, microbes living on the skin, pregnancy, carbon dioxide released by humans, alcohol and diet. According to research, mosquitoes bite pregnant women, people with high temperature and excessive sweating and people with dark skin more.
Beer drinkers are also at greater risk
Some studies have also revealed that people with blood group A are bitten less by mosquitoes. On the other hand, people with blood group O are bitten the most by mosquitoes. Apart from this, mosquitoes are more attracted to people who drink beer. However, it is believed that one way to avoid mosquitoes can be to wear light colored clothes.
