Mosquito bites medicine for pregnant women

Pregnant women should not use cooling oil or mosquito repellent perfume. The area where a person is bitten by a mosquito will swell and become painful and itchy. If you apply some soapy water to the bite, it can relieve the symptoms. When mosquitoes bite people to suck blood physically, they spit out poison - benzoic acid. Benzoic acid is highly corrosive and can cause redness, itching and pain on the skin; however, when alkaline soap solution and alkaline benzoic acid meet, the "acid-base neutralization" reduces the toxic side effects of benzoic acid. Therefore, using soapy water to treat the pain and itching after mosquito bites is indeed a practical "earth" method.

How can I avoid being bitten by mosquitoes?

1. Take a shower as soon as possible after exercise to keep your skin fresh. If you sweat a lot in hot weather, wipe off the sweat immediately with toilet paper or a handkerchief.

2. If there are many mosquitoes in the activity area, you should wear long-sleeved clothes. This is not because there is an extra layer of cloth on the body, mosquitoes cannot use their mouth needles to pierce in and physically suck blood. In fact, the mosquito's mouth needle is very sharp and can even penetrate artificial leather and thick jeans. The clothes and pants you wear in summer are simply unsightly if they are bitten. The main function of clothes is to cover the smell of skin secretions such as sweat, so that mosquitoes can not track.

3. It is best to wear white clothes when going outdoors, because white clothes have strong light-reflecting ability and can repel Aedes mosquitoes.

4. In summer, you must not not wear socks because you feel too hot. Doing so will cause the sweat to evaporate quickly and attract mosquitoes to attack other parts of the body. Wearing cotton socks with very good breathability can not only effectively reduce the humidity of the skin environment, but also cover up the odor.

5. It is not suitable to use skin care products with strong smells such as eau de toilette when going to areas with many mosquitoes.

What to do if you get bitten

1. Apply garlic slices: Apply a slice of garlic repeatedly on the mosquito bite for a few minutes. It has significant analgesic, anti-itching and anti-inflammatory effects. Even if the bite has formed a hard lump or ulcerated inflammation, you can rub it with garlic. Generally, the inflammation and swelling can be reduced after 12 hours, and the ulcerated wound can be healed after 24 hours. People with skin allergies should use it with caution.

2. Apply soap: Since poisonous mosquitoes will produce a kind of venom when they bite, this kind of venom is acidic and alkaline, so washing with alkaline soap is also very effective. After washing with alkaline soap, be careful not to scratch it hard and it will heal quickly.
