Mosquitoes are in almost every home and you may have seen them flying around your ears at some point, but do you know why they are fly around your ears?
At night when you are fast asleep you suddenly hear something hum near your ear. These are nothing but mosquitoes that hover near our ears. They come to our ears and hum and make us sleepy. But do you know why these mosquitoes always go around the ears? In fact, there is a reason behind this that will surprise you.
Mosquito bites not only relieve itching but also increase the risk of many diseases. We are taking many steps to drive them away but they are not going away. Finally, they turn around and hum near the ear.
But there are very interesting reasons behind this. In this regard, entomologists say that mosquitoes are more attracted to the part of the body where the smell is high. It may be hard to believe but it is true. Ears are one of the dirtiest places in our body and that’s why mosquitoes love to be around them because of their smell.
Frequency of Mosquito Wings
According to researchers, when we sleep, mosquitoes suddenly come and hover near our ears and hum constantly. But this sound comes from the rapid speed of the mosquito’s wings. According to experts, a mosquito can flap its wings 250 times per second, which means mosquitoes communicate with each other.
Additionally, our body heat and sweat attract mosquitoes to us, and the carbon dioxide we breathe in while we sleep drives mosquitoes upward.
