Why do mosquitoes rarely bite some people, while they attack others?
Oxu.Az reports, citing Pravda.ru, that Dutch scientists decided to investigate the reasons for this and obtained interesting results.
Experts from Radboud University conducted a direct study during a large music festival. To do this, they set up a mobile pavilion and invited hundreds of volunteers.
The participants first provided information about their lifestyle, diet, and hygiene habits. Then each placed their hand into a device containing mosquitoes. Although the insects could not bite the participants, cameras recorded their reactions to the scent of the skin.
It was found that mosquitoes reacted 35% more actively to those who drank beer.
Thus, it was determined that even one glass of alcoholic drink significantly increases mosquitoes' interest in a person.
