As summer arrives, mosquitoes become more active, and a pediatrician debunked old myths about factors like diet or body acidity affecting mosquito attraction, explaining that temperature, CO2, scents, and dark colors are the main criteria. The doctor shared the 8 types of people that mosquitoes are most fond of, including those with higher body temperatures, who exhale more CO2, with a 'sweaty' odor, specific skin bacteria, blood type O, post-exercise conditions, wearing dark clothes, and those who drink. Additionally, 4 methods to avoid mosquito bites were discussed, such as wearing light-colored long-sleeved clothing, removing sweat, staying hydrated, using effective repellents, and going out with someone who attracts mosquitoes more than oneself.
