are there mosquito skins?

Several things attract mosquitoes to humans: CO2, body heat and the smell of the skin, reports the doctor and journalist Damien Mascret, present, Monday, May 29, on the set of 12/13. And yes, some people attract mosquitoes more than others because of the smell of their skin. “New York researchers have shown that there is a family of chemical molecules, carboxylic acids, which are particularly attractive to mosquitoes”he explains. Some people give off more than others.

Avoid beer and bananas

However, it is possible to reduce its attractiveness by avoiding beer and bananas, or by using a coconut soap. Repellents are also recommended, especially in tropical areas. Finally, avoid dark clothes, which retain body heat, and prefer white, covering clothes. Finally, use a fan from time to time, because mosquitoes find it difficult to fly near fans, or equip yourself with a mosquito net.
