Wherever we rest, there is a high probability of meeting buzzing and biting insects - mosquitoes. Mosquito bites can cause severe allergic reactions and lead to itching and rashes. Before meeting with a mosquito army, try to reliably protect yourself and your loved ones.
We dress correctly. In the late afternoon, change your shorts to trousers, and put on a long-sleeved shirt or sweater over your T-shirt. Closed shoes (shoes, sneakers, sneakers) should be worn on your feet. Don't wear too tight clothing. Mosquitoes like dark and bright clothes more, so choose lighter colors. Wear a bandana or a cap on your head.
Choosing a mosquito repellent. The most effective products are in the form of creams, ointments and lotions. Test your chosen product on a small area of your skin to avoid causing an allergic reaction. Apply the product in a thin layer, without rubbing, to open skin areas. Do not treat damaged skin with mosquito repellent, as well as the skin around the eyes and mouth. The drug should not come into contact with mucous membranes. Remember to shower before bed and rinse the mosquito repellent from your skin.
We protect the house from mosquitoes. To prevent mosquitoes from entering the house, protect the windows with mosquito nets, and tighten the holes of the ventilation pipes with a fine mesh. Don't leave the door open.
We study the smells that mosquitoes are afraid of. Mosquitoes dislike the smell of peppermint, basil, thyme, cloves, wormwood, lavender and bird cherry. Essential oils of tea tree, lavender, anise, valerian, eucalyptus, geranium and rosemary are good for repelling mosquitoes. Use a few drops of one of the oil in the aroma lamp.
If the mosquito nevertheless bit, wipe the bite site with alcohol or eau de cologne and anoint with the "Zvezdochka" balm. Crushed parsley and mint leaves, kefir, an onion cut in half will also help relieve itching. You can also use any antihistamine ointment. If necessary, take a pill "Suprastin", "Tavegil", "Centrin" or "Zodaka"
