DARN THOSE MOSQUITOES!!!
Newcomers who want to relax outdoors with their friends and families during the summer
might find many uninvited Canadian guests coming to their parties for a meal: mosquitoes!
These tiny citizens aren’t at the picnic table to taste the delicious food; they’re females who
need blood for their eggs!
In Canada, mosquito bites are usually not dangerous to health, but they can be
uncomfortable because the red marks they leave on the skin are very, very itchy. One way
to manage mosquito bites is to prevent them. It helps to know the insects’ habits. They are
not very active on windy days, and they are most active in the mornings and evenings. They
are attracted to movement, human smells and brightly coloured clothing, The best way to
prevent bites is to wear insect repellent and layers of clothing. Mosquitoes can bite
through thin cloth, but if clothing is layered, it is harder for them to bite.
If you do get bites, it is important not to scratch, because that will make them itchier.
There are many products for sale in pharmacies to help with the itching, and there are
many home remedies as well. One product that is popular in Canada is calamine lotion.
Some people say that toothpaste helps, while other people use a paste made of water and
baking soda. Perhaps it is best to try many pharmacy products and home remedies until
you find the one that works well for you.
