Remember these three tricks to make the mosquitoes "shove away from you"

1. Often take a bath and use less perfume. Take a bath regularly to keep your skin fresh and wipe off the sweat in time when you sweat, which can reduce the attraction of sweat odor to mosquitoes. Use soap and perfume sparingly. Mosquitoes like to eat nectar. Therefore, after using perfume, cosmetics, facial cream and other floral-scented items, the probability of being bitten by mosquitoes will increase. However, not all fragrances will attract mosquitoes. For example, perfumes with sandalwood fragrance commonly used by men can repel mosquitoes.

 

2. Use a smell that mosquitoes don’t like. Mosquitoes are more afraid of special smells, and some natural plants have a repellent effect on mosquitoes. For example, nightflower and wormwood, the most obvious of which is pyrethrum, has a strong repellent or even killer effect on mosquitoes. Mosquitoes also don't like the smell of lemongrass oil, citronella and geraniol.

 

3. Wear light-colored clothes for outdoor sports. Try to wear light-colored long-sleeved clothes when you are active in places with a lot of mosquitoes. At the same time, wear socks. This will not only reduce the exposure of humans to mosquitoes, but the mosquitoes will feel that the humidity of the human skin is reduced, the volatiles on the skin are reduced, and it will also reduce bites.
