If you’re worried about mosquito bites, make sure you’re not using too much lather when using soap.
A new study has revealed that the scent of soap and the lather it produces attract mosquitoes, so if one uses more lather when using soap, the mosquitoes may be more likely to target them.
According to American researchers, the smell of soap can make you attractive to mosquitoes because when mosquitoes aren’t sucking blood, they get their nutritional needs from sugars found in plants.
Researchers say that when a person uses more suds while using soap, their own body odor is dulled and the scent of flowers and fruits used in the soap is drawn in, which attracts mosquitoes.
According to research published in the journal Live Science, some soaps can make humans more attractive to mosquitoes and others less attractive.
According to experts, a person who is already relatively attracted to mosquitoes can increase or decrease this attraction by simply changing the scent of the soap.
A team of researchers studied the relationship between soap and mosquito attraction with the help of four volunteers. First they studied each person’s own scent and then four different soap-washed and unwashed scents.
Studies have shown that 60 percent of the odor a person emits after using soap is soap rather than natural body odor.
The researchers concluded from this study that there is a strong correlation between the natural chemicals in the human body and the chemicals in soaps, so some soaps make humans more attractive to mosquitoes, while others repel mosquitoes. .
According to researchers, mosquitoes do not like the smell of coconut at all, while deodorants, surf and other scented products also play an important role in attracting mosquitoes.
