Mosquitoes are annoying pests that ruin summer evenings. They easily burrow into the body and then leave behind only an annoying itch.
But many have noticed that these insects choose some people more often, while leaving others alone.
What is this connected with?
Dermatovenerologist Roman Ivanov gave the answer to Gazeta.Ru .
As it turns out, it's all about the amount of carbon dioxide exhaled and the scent of the skin.
Mosquitoes prefer pregnant and overweight people.
They like ammonia and lactic acid contained in sweat. If a person suffers from heat or plays sports, then the mosquito will definitely pay attention to him.
Usually, bites are not dangerous. Most people experience a slight itch at the wound itself, and a small swelling appears.
But in some cases an allergic reaction is possible: redness, severe swelling, fever, etc. In such situations, you should immediately contact a doctor.
