How to Avoid Mosquito Bites

-You may think its stupid or something but people actually get diseases just from a bite of mosquito .

-Why do Mosquitoes Bite?
Despite their size, mosquitoes are actually the deadliest creatures on Earth; scores of studies have taken place for determining how to prevent mosquito bites. Both male and female mosquitoes prefer to feed on flower nectar, however females switch to an all-protein diet of blood when they are ready to reproduce. Strangely, studies show that mosquitoes prefer to bite men over women; overweight people are at greater risk.

To Prevent Individual Mosquito Bites :-

STEPS :-

1.) Kill the mosquito by grabbing it out of the air. Unless you practice this a great deal, you will find it hard to accomplish and the air of your moving hand gives the mosquito plenty of warning, and can even blow it out of your grasp.

2.) Kill the flying mosquito with a double-handed clap. Using two hands is more effective than one, as the air coming from each hand will blow the mosquito into the opposing palm.

3.) If the mosquito lands on your arm, tightening the arm's muscles may cause the mosquito become stuck. At this point you can just slap at the mosquito, or clench your muscles even more. This sometimes causes the mosquito to fill up with too much blood and explode.

4.) If all these techniques are not working, you may want to give it another try by catching the mosquito with a transparent cup. Slowly place a cup (preferably a hard material) over the mosquito and then slide some paper underneath this cup. This gives you control over the mosquito and can provide you with a more pacifistic approach, instead of just killing the mosquito.
