飛蚊外傳
5.蚊子都會傳播疾病？
全世界蚊子的種類超過三千種，不過其中僅有少數幾種會傳播疾病。
然而，蚊子所傳播的疾病，很可能會造成死亡！
6.體型不會吸引蚊子？
實際上，蚊子的確似乎比較偏愛型大的人多過於嬌小的人。
體型較大的人吐出較多二氧化碳並且體溫較高
這兩樣特質都會吸引蚊子。
7.血型不具任何影響？
研究顯示蚊子比較愛O型的人。
不過，科學家並不太確定原因為何。
看來蚊子受汗水及體溫吸引並非只是謠傳。
因此當你在戶外活動時，務必記得噴上防蚊液。
蚊子都在潮濕區域交配及產卵。
所以，注意別讓家中陽臺或後院的容器留有積水。
這些惱人蚊蟲能很快毁掉你的夏季歡樂時光；不過，成功分辨關於蚊子的真偽傳聞也許能有所幫助。
接下來，你就能躲開地們讓人難受且又可能致命的攻擊了。
