Have you noticed that mosquitoes sometimes have preferences? It is not imagination, on the contrary, it is confirmed by specialists.
Biological factors can transform a person into a very easy target for mosquitoes.
If you belong to the group of people who are irresistible to mosquitoes, then read some of the very simple reasons.
You are sweaty
If you are back on the shooting table for mosquitoes, then it is better to exercise indoors.
Lactic acid, a byproduct that is released through sweat, is highly attractive to mosquitoes, experts say. If you sweat a lot, body temperature plays a major role.
Mosquitoes love warmth and thrive on it, experts say.
You have type 0 blood
Mosquitoes are biting insects. They have very clear preferences and one of them has to do with blood type.
A study in the Journal of Medical Entomology found that these blood-sucking bugs are strongly attracted to people whose blood is type 0.
The organism of these people releases some strong smells, which serve as magnets for mosquitoes.
You drank beer
If you drink beer, prepare to be bitten hard. A study found that men who drank beer were more attractive to mosquitoes.
Një tjetër eksperiment konfirmoi se mushkonjat adhurojnë njerëzit që pinë alkool.
Keni genet e duhura
Studimet me subjekt binjakët sugjeruan se mekanizmat genetikë ndikojnë nëse ia hidhni paq mushkonjave, ose bini në grackën e tyre.
Shkencëtarët konfirmuan se disa njerëz arrijnë të çlirojnë substanca natyrale kundër mushkonjave ndërsa disa njerëz janë gjenetikisht të predispozuar të jenë të pambrojtur nga mushkonjat.
Jeni shtatzënë
Mushkonjat femra (ato që pickojnë më fort) janë të çmendura pas dioksidit të karbonit. Ato kanë receptorë që i ndihmojnë të dallojnë gazrat në mjedis. Po çfarë lidhje ka kjo me shtatzaninë tuaj?
Një studim i vitit 2002 zbuloi se femrat në fazën e parafundit dhe të fundit të shtatzanisë përthithin 21% më shumë dioksid karboni se femrat jo shtatzënë.
The researchers found that this physiological change explains why pregnant women who participated in the study were twice as likely to be bitten by mosquitoes compared to non-pregnant women.
But carbon dioxide may not be the only reason why pregnant women release stronger, more evocative scents for insects.
