Those who swell up and itch a lot when bitten 'should speak with their doctor about taking an over-the-counter antihistamine daily as a precaution,' says Dr. Zwiebel. The bugs will still bite, but you may not notice, since the drug prevents the allergic response that turns a painless bite into an itchy nuisance.
茨维伯尔建议,那些遭蚊虫叮咬后伤口肿胀或伤口非常痒的人,“应与医生谈谈,看看是否需要每天服用一种非处方抗组胺剂用于预防”。服用该药物后,蚊子仍会咬你,不过你可能就注意不到了,因为它可预防过敏反应,从而避免无痛的叮咬发展为恼人的痒痛。
Cleaner Is Meaner
清洁抗菌
Female mosquitoes are driven to bite you as they need a blood meal to complete their reproductive cycle and produce fertile eggs, which takes a huge boost of protein. To reduce the chances of being bitten, wash with an antibacterial soap to reduce the volume of mosquito-attracting bacteria on your skin.
在需要吸血以完成它们的繁殖周期、产下幼卵(这需要大量补充蛋白质)时,雌蚊子便会去咬人。若要降低被蚊子叮咬的几率,可用抗菌香皂清洗身体以减少皮肤表面吸引蚊子的细菌的数量。
Other ways to dodge bites: Avoid the outdoors at dawn and dusk, when mosquitoes are most active. Set up an outdoor fan to shoo bugs away. And wear long trousers and shirts if it's not too hot. Dr. Zwiebel also suggests spraying your clothing with repellent that contains DEET, a chemical that acts to confuse the mosquito's olfactory receptors. 'It works, and until something better comes along, it's the best thing available to prevent bites,' he says.
