Expert: how to protect yourself from mosquitoes

Entomologist Marina Krivosheyina shared tips on how to protect against mosquitoes and what to do after a bite, aif.ru reported via Mail.ru.

She said the most effective method is wearing anti-mosquito suits that fully cover the body. Regular clothing also helps, but loose collars, sleeves, and pant legs leave skin exposed.

Krivosheyina stressed that insect repellents should be applied to clothing rather than skin. This minimizes exposure to chemicals and boosts effectiveness, as insects sense the scent better on fabric.

To relieve itching and redness after a bite, use allergy gels and ointments with dimetindene. In more severe cases, hormonal creams or antihistamines may be needed. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
