    With the arrival of summer, we suffer from mosquito bites, especially after the rain. When we sleep, mosquitoes buzzing in our ears can be very disturbing to our sleep. After a mosquito bite, what is the best way to relieve itching or disinfect the wound?

    The most popular method on the Internet is to use garlic juice to apply to wounds. As well as mosquito repellent items such as toilet water, ice mint, etc., which we use in our daily life to fight the pus left behind by mosquito bites.

    So is there any use for this approach? In fact, there is no ingredient in garlic that can relieve itching, he is allicin, which can make our broken ** feel some stinging sensation to fight the itching caused by mosquito bites. This still does little to solve the problem fundamentally.

    There are also some toilet lotions that can relieve itching, but they can only relieve the itching sensation caused by mosquito bites for a short time.

    When we are bitten by mosquitoes, the text will stick the harmonica into the ** at the same time, and at the same time, it will also inject a protein that can resist blood clotting into the body, at this time, the body's immune system will trigger an immune response by rejecting this protein, which is why we feel itching. We apply garlic juice and toilet water, which is not able to block the immune response in our body, but can only relieve itching and divert our attention from other senses in the body. After the action of these substances is over, it does not stop us from feeling itching.

    Although this self-protection will make people feel a little uncomfortable, it is precisely because the immune system protects our body all the time that we will be protected from many bacteria and viruses.

    Therefore, garlic water can relieve itching, but it cannot solve the problem fundamentally.

    1. When mosquitoes bite people, they will release saliva containing anticoagulants to prevent blood from clotting so that they can be sucked. Saliva contains a variety of enzymes, such as antihemagglutinin, which prevents blood from clotting, hemolysin, which destroys inhaled red blood cells, and lectin, which agglutinates damaged red blood cells.

    2. The body's immune system produces a protein called histamine to fight foreign substances, and this immune response triggers an allergic reaction at the bite site, so we feel itchy.

    3. Garlic cloves contain volatile oil, and the main component of the oil is allicin, which is produced by the hydrolysis of alliin contained in garlic. The concentration of allicin at 1:50000 can inhibit a variety of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, that is, it acts as an antibiotic, so it effectively alleviates the negative effects of mosquito bites.

    It may be because a substance in the garlic clove has a chemical reaction with the mosquito's venom and breaks down the venom. If you want to know very well, it's best to look up what's in the garlic cloves, and look at the composition of the mosquito's venom to see if they react. If you're really interested, you can do some research.
