Elena Malysheva's colleagues said that drinking orange juice protects against mosquitoes.
Cardiologist German Gandelman and allergist Andrey Prodeus shared their opinions on this topic.
On the air of the program “Live Healthy!” on Channel One, experts named an unexpected way to protect against mosquitoes.
Gandelman confirmed the information that orange juice protects against bites of these insects.
This is possible thanks to a substance contained in the drink. It repels winged bloodsuckers.
When a person drinks the juice, this substance is released on their skin. This makes people less attractive to mosquitoes.
In addition, insects are repelled by essential oils with the aroma of orange, sage or eucalyptus. Coconut soap has the same effect.
But it is better to avoid floral scents. They attract mosquitoes, added allergist Prodeus.
