We all know that mosquitoes do bite but only females because once they are fertilized need blood to lay their eggs.
Bear in mind that heat favors the reproduction of these and many other insects, so during the summer and hot weather increases the population of mosquitoes and consequently increase the bites and allergies.
Tips to avoid mosquito bites:
- Do not always wear dark colored clothing and that they are attracted.
- It is very important to maintain clean skin because sweating and strong odors attract them.
- If possible avoid going out at dusk and dawn as they are their favorite times.
- Always keep your lawn short and does not leave piles of leaves or branches.
- Do not keep for several days containers with standing water.
- If using repellents is critical to follow manufacturers’ recommendations, especially if it concerns children.
Remember that mosquito bites cause welts on the skin and redness, so avoid scratching as this may further complicate the injury cause scarring and increase the risk of bacterial infections on their skin.
This is exactly a thing I must do more research into, thanks for the posting.
