However, the fight against the bloodthirsty insects. In what way ? Why some people get bitten by mosquitos more often and others less often? One popular hypothesis – different blood group person.
Dermatologist, dermatologist, Institute of dermatology Dr. Bogomolets told me that one blood group is more attractive to mosquitoes than others – just a guess. In her opinion, one of the reasons for the election of mosquitoes, their “victims” is the smell of the human body.
However, according to Japanese research, “tiny vampires” are almost twice as likely to land on people with type blood group 0 (1 blood group). Interestingly, most people secrete substances that allow mosquitoes to identify the taste of blood, before they try it.

When choosing creams or lotions against mosquito bites for children – the doctor-the dermatologist advised to adhere to specified on the package recommendations. As a rule, to give the children such funds can be from two to three years. If the baby is non-allergenic – by themselves, these funds of particular harm are not commented Semeniuk.
Another thing is too sensitive to allergies baby – then it is necessary to consult a physician. If your child has itching from mosquito bites – be sure to disinfect the wound. In order not to get infected – don’t let the little “comb” it. The same applies to adults, the bites from mosquitoes the main thing is not to itch!

Harmful if the fumigator?
Effective against mosquitoes and operates electric fumigator with plates. Sort of a small device that plugs into the wall socket. Its principle of operation is simple: heated cardboard plate impregnated with insecticide, or spray with the same drug, but in liquid form.
Heat from the ammonia begins to evaporate, and after 10-12 minutes the surrounding mosquitoes lose interest. The range of a good fumigator – 12 square meters. An hour before I should sleep – the device is better off.
Despite its effectiveness – its effect is harmful, especially for children and pregnant women. Therefore it is better to use a fumigator, when no one in the house and at the same time to ventilate the room. If, during use, there is headache, sudden skin rash, stuffy nose or “scratchy” throat, better to abandon it.
What if a mosquito bite?
If “the little vampire” has bitten – you first need to reduce the itching. You can use again special products: creams, lotions. And you can select and traditional methods. The easiest to treat the affected area with calendula tincture, says Semeniuk. Or wet the bite normal soda solution – 1 teaspoon in a glass of water and brush with lemon juice.
