The abundance of mosquitoes has increased during the rainy season. Along with this, the risk of dangerous diseases like dengue, malaria and chikungunya also increases due to mosquitoes. During this time, people take many measures to protect themselves from mosquitoes. But beer drinkers are more likely to be bitten by mosquitoes than the general public. A recent study has found that some people are more likely to be bitten by mosquitoes for several reasons, including skin color and bacteria present on the skin.

Why do mosquitoes bite?

Let us tell you that there are more than 3500 species of mosquitoes, out of which only some female species bite humans. Because female mosquitoes need protein for their eggs and mosquitoes get protein from human blood. This is the reason why mosquitoes bite people by stinging them like needles on the skin.

Mosquito bites cause itching, swelling and other serious infections on the skin. Dengue, malaria and chikungunya are mosquito-borne diseases that affect people.

Mosquitoes bite these special people

Mosquitoes also bite some people in certain situations. Dr. Jagdish Khubchandani, professor of public health at New Mexico State University, USA, told Medical News Today that some studies have discussed the reasons why mosquitoes are attracted to humans. It has been found that mosquitoes are more likely to bite some people due to body odor, skin color, skin temperature and texture, germs living on the skin, pregnancy, carbon dioxide emitted by humans, alcohol and diet. According to research, pregnant women, people with high temperature and sweating, and people with dark skin are more likely to be bitten by mosquitoes.

Beer drinkers are also at higher risk

Some studies have also shown that people with blood group A are less likely to be bitten by mosquitoes. People with blood group O are bitten the most by mosquitoes. Apart from this, mosquitoes are more attracted to people who drink beer. However, it is believed that one way to avoid mosquitoes is to wear light colored clothes.
