What are the methods for pregnant women to repel mosquitoes?

During pregnancy, there are many issues that pregnant women need to pay attention to, such as mosquito repellent. If used improperly, it can easily cause abortion. Pay special attention to this aspect. There are many mosquito repellent products on the market, including mosquito coils, electric mosquito coils, etc. Although most products are marked as non-toxic and harmless, the ingredients of some mosquito repellent products may have adverse effects on pregnant women and fetuses. So, what are some ways for pregnant women to repel mosquitoes? Let me introduce it to you below.

Mosquitoes use smell to find the most suitable objects for their "taste" among the crowd. However, pregnant women are twice as likely to be bitten by mosquitoes as non-pregnant women. Because the breath exhaled by women during pregnancy contains a variety of different chemicals, they become targets for malaria mosquitoes. In addition, pregnant women have a higher body temperature and sweat a lot, which is a good breeding ground for skin bacteria. These two reasons make pregnant women more likely to be visited by mosquitoes than other women.

What are the methods for pregnant women to repel mosquitoes?

1. Clean up garbage in time and do not leave stagnant water to avoid increasing the chance of mosquito breeding.

2. Soap shreds + laundry detergent water. Put a basin of water with soap shreds mixed with laundry detergent in the room. The next morning, there will be some dead mosquitoes in the basin. If you use this method every day, there will be fewer and fewer mosquitoes in your home.

3. Garlic and vitamin B are two very commonly used mosquito repellents. Since mosquitoes don't like the smell of garlic, garlic can be eaten or applied to the body. Vitamin B can be dissolved in water and rubbed on the body, which has a certain effect.

4. Plant-based mosquito repellent. There are many mosquito-repellent plants on the market now, such as tuberose, lavender, jasmine, etc. These plants have both floral fragrance and anti-mosquito effects. They are a good choice for pregnant women.

5. Add wind oil or floral water to mosquito nets. Directly using wind oil or floral water may be bad for pregnant women's skin, and the smell is too strong. Add some wind oil or floral water on the mosquito net to produce a mosquito repellent effect.

6. Try to wear light-colored clothes, such as yellow or white. Because dark-colored clothing is more susceptible to bites, such as dark blue, brown or black. Wear linen or cotton long-sleeved clothing.

7. Taking a bath frequently can reduce the sweat odor secreted by the human body and make it less likely for mosquitoes to bite.

8. Spraying floral water on collars, cuffs, etc. can also prevent mosquito bites.

9. First of all, when taking a walk, try not to go to places with thick grass. Go to ventilated places where there are relatively fewer mosquitoes.
