Why do mosquitoes always bite pregnant mothers? Is it true that mosquito repellent water can hurt th

As soon as the weather is hot in summer, mosquitoes begin to wreak havoc, especially pregnant women and small babies are particularly vulnerable to mosquito poisoning. So why do mosquitoes always stare at pregnant women and bite? Is it true that mosquito repellent water can hurt the fetus?

Because mosquitoes especially like people who release a lot of carbon dioxide. Pregnant women have a fast metabolism during pregnancy, and the exhaled gas contains a variety of different chemicals, which is easy to attract mosquitoes. Moreover, the body temperature is higher during pregnancy, and there is a lot of sweating, and the chemical signals produced by breeding ** bacteria are easy to be sniffed by mosquitoes. These two reasons make pregnant women more likely to attract mosquitoes.

And mosquito repellent water will hurt the fetus to a certain extent, and it is indeed true.

1. Mosquito coils. The active ingredients of mosquito coils are pyrethroids, insecticides and other additives, etc., these ingredients are mainly narcotic and poisonous mosquitoes, although they are marked as non-toxic and harmless, the dose is small, and the harm to ordinary people is less, but these ingredients may affect the intellectual development of the fetus, which is not good for pregnant women and fetuses.

2. Mosquito repellent toilet water. Generally, pregnant women will be advised to use it with caution on mosquito repellent toilet water, because mosquito repellent toilet water contains musk, and the volatile components of alcohol may be detrimental to the fetus. There are also some special mosquito repellent toilet water for babies, the active ingredient is mosquito repellent ester, which is safe.

3. Chinese herbal medicine sachets. Generally, mosquito repellent sachets, as well as calamus, mugwort leaves, angelica, peilan, peppermint, Huoxiang and other Chinese herbal medicines, are all aromatic medicines. In the natural environment, it volatilizes the smell that mosquitoes do not like, so as to achieve the effect of repelling mosquitoes.

It sounds safe, but there are many spice drugs in this kind, and it is not recommended to wear them for a long time, especially in the first trimester of pregnancy, which may cause slippage.

However, pregnant mothers can also use scientific physical mosquito repellent methods, and can use screen windows and mosquito nets are the most economical and practical mosquito prevention methods, which are limited to when sleeping at home. You can wear long clothes, trousers and socks to cover exposed limb parts when you go out. The function of long clothes and trousers can also be used to mask the smell of sweat and other secretions, reducing the chance of being bitten by mosquitoes.

And wearing light-colored clothes outdoors can reflect light and effectively repel mosquitoes.

Finally, I wish all pregnant mothers a safe summer.

During pregnancy, women have a higher respiratory rate and exhaled air contains a variety of different chemicals, among which mosquitoes are particularly fond of carbon dioxide and thus become the target of mosquito bites. The use of mosquito coils in the room by pregnant mothers can cause nerve damage to the baby in the womb. When the baby is in the womb of the pregnant mother, all the supplies are provided by the pregnant mother, and the harmful substances in the mosquito coil absorbed by the pregnant mother will directly affect the baby, which may cause the baby's nerve damage and mental retardation.

Because the body temperature of the pregnant mother is higher, there is a smell on the body, and to a certain extent, the mosquito coil will hurt the fetus, and the chemical components in it are not good for the fetus.

1. The respiratory rate of pregnant women is fast. Mosquitoes are easily attracted to carbon dioxide, and after pregnancy, the respiratory rate of pregnant mothers will increase due to the pregnant belly, which makes the exhaled carbon dioxide more, so it will become the target of mosquitoes, so it is popular with mosquitoes!

2. Pregnant women have high body temperature and are afraid of heat. Pregnant women are more afraid of cold and heat, pregnant mother's body blood circulation and metabolism are getting faster, high energy, more heat production, more than the average person is afraid of heat, love to sweat, especially in summer, it is easy to be anxious and sweaty, and the smell of sweat is easy to attract mosquitoes to "patronize", so that the pregnant mother is "bitten".

3. The smell of pregnant women is more suitable for the appetite of mosquitoes. We all know that it is the female mosquito that sucks blood, and the male mosquito does not suck blood. In order to reproduce, female mosquitoes will selectively choose their biting targets, especially nutritious people, and pregnant women are exactly in line with this and have become the best targets to meet their "appetite".
