TVBS News on June 24, 2024, at 10:35 a.m. As summer brings out hordes of mosquitoes, people are not only getting bitten outdoors but even indoors. Pediatrician Jayden pointed out that outdated beliefs about being prone to mosquito bites, such as consuming too much meat or having an acidic body constitution, are inaccurate. Instead, factors like temperature, carbon dioxide, odor, and dark colors attract mosquitoes. Jayden listed the '8 Types of People Mosquitoes Love the Most,' with some netizens discovering that 'more than half matched.' These include people with higher body temperatures, those who exhale more carbon dioxide, individuals with a strong body odor, individuals with certain skin bacteria, those with O-type blood, individuals who exercise, wear dark clothing, and consume alcohol. Jayden also shared 4 methods to avoid mosquito bites, emphasizing wearing light-colored long-sleeved clothing, maintaining hydration, avoiding perfumes, and using effective mosquito repellents like DEET, Picaridin, PMD, and IR3535 on exposed skin.
