At the same time, citizens should also have a greater foresight to fight mosquitoes. For example, a person’s smell is different and unique to everyone, so it is possible that some are more attacked by mosquitoes. In particular, certain chemicals present in our skin and sweat, such as lactic acid or octenol, act as a powerful attractant for female mosquitoes. This is why it is important to avoid certain foods and drinks that can increase the release of chemical attractants through our skin, such as alcohol for example.
