The scientist of the Netherlands did a research in which it was revealed that mosquitoes who drink alcohol cut the most. This research was done in 500 people who attended the music festival. During this time, 500 people handed them into a mosquito -filled box and recorded it in the camera. This research found that those who had drunk alcohol were cutting 34 percent more mosquitoes. At the same time, loans who had not bathed, or did not go with sunscreen or slept with someone last night. The mosquitoes also bitten them more. In this research, it was found that mosquitoes bite the most to a person who drinks alcohol.
Unique research done at music festival
Lowlands, the most famous music festival of the Netherlands, saw not only music, but also mosquitoes. In the year 2023, when big artists like Billie Elish and Florence + The Machine were performing on the stage, some scientists from Radboud University, Nizmegen also arrived at the same festival, but they came to know the secrets of the mosquitoes.
Scientist named Felix Hole was leading this research team, wanted to find out why some people cut more mosquitoes and some less. For this, he included the people who came to the festival in a special experiment. The people who came there were asked to put their hands in a box filled with mosquitoes. But do not panic, their hands were covered with a safe clothes, so that mosquitoes could smell, but could not bite. Around 60,000 people attended this festival, which lasted for three days.
Mosquitoes like beer, but hate bathing
This funny research conducted at the Lolands Music Festival gave scientists some interesting results. During the festival, about 500 people put their hands in a mesh filled with mosquitoes. Each experiment was recorded in the video so that later it could be seen how many mosquitoes sat on whose hand and how long. Along with this, a questionnaire was also filled with all the people, asking what they ate, what they drank or how.
Mosquitoes like these people
When scientists linked these answers to the video, it was revealed that mosquitoes liked beer drinkers, marijuana (ganja), and others who share beds with others, mosquitoes would like the most! Researchers wrote in a funny manner-mosquitoes like the taste of those who have fun among us.
At the same time, those who used to apply sunscreen or recently bathed, mosquitoes gave them less attention, that is, mosquitoes did not cut them much.
Mosquitoes decide like this
When mosquitoes get a group of people, they first smell to decide who to cut and who is not. But yet it has not been fully known what smell they like the most. However, research revealed that mosquitoes like beer drinking beer, but scientist Felix Hole says that perhaps this is not due to alcohol, but due to changes in their behavior. He told that, “Those who drink alcohol dance with more excitement, which changes their body temperature and sweat smell and this can attract mosquitoes.
However, music festival is a good place to find people who drink beer. Those who happily are ready to put their hands in the mosquito cans. But there are some disadvantages of doing research at such a place. The biggest problem is that people coming to the festival are mostly young and healthy, while people with all ages and health are included in the common population. Therefore, to understand which people actually cut more, the scientist will have to do such studies outside the festival.
