Why mosquito bite is common at 6 pm ?

It's not the mosquito bite that is common.. it's the number of mosquitos. mosquitos love dark places and usually around 6 pm is the sunset right? so there. you don't need a very scientific explanation or whatsoever. it's just because it's getting dark. \n\nPS: mosquitos are common all through out the night. they also love cold. they just start to appear numerously at 6pm.

I live in Asia, and the TV advertisements teach people to clean and dry out any container holding water at least twice a week. People here are very wary of mosquitoes and the diseases they carry. It's a real problem.\n\nBut, keep thinking ~ you never know what you might invent! You obviously have a creative mind...\n\ngood luck...

First not enough blood is injested by the mosquito.\n\nSecondly,a mosquitos bite is actually two fold. \nThe first bite from one orifice injects a chemical/enzyme to stop the blood from clotting. This chemical is said to help neutralize the disease, this is what makes us itch from the bite. \nThen thru a different orifice the mosquito sucks a very, very small amount of blood and this blood is broken down inside the mosquito's body for food. The enymes of the mosquito make it impossible foir the HIV to live inside the mosquito.

The witching hour is typically 12 am. It basiclly meant anything that happens after this time is evil or up to no good until the sun rises again.

9:37 a.m  I am an early morning person.  Interesting research you have going here!  I would be curious of your findings.  Do you think the tendency of the mother would have anything to do with it?  If she was a morning or evening person?

I'm like the poster child for Mosquito bites.  If there's just one tiny mosquito in the room, it automatically targets my legs/arms/face/whatever exposed body part is there....and skips over my husband lol.  I heard say that if you are vitamin B (any of them)deficient they are more attracted to you, how that works I don't know but I'm sure it's pretty accurate.  \nI'm deathly afraid of mosquito bites, not only can they give you malaria and denge fever but they can also give you the so far untreatable "West Nile Virus" we had one patient die from that at work last year, eeek...

Absolutely nothing is wrong with you. According to some generally accepted researches, there are two types of people concerning the day rhythm: "owls" and "skylarks". The first ones are more active in the evening, even during the night. They wake up mostly late, but as the day passes off, they become more and more active. The second ones wake up very early, the most active part of their day is morning, until the afternoon and as evening comes they become more and more tired and go to bed earlier. \n\nHowever, it can be connected with some other factors like low blood pressure, anemia, stress, insufficiency of some vitamins and minerals. There is also the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, especially if you don't feel good during the day light. You maybe spend too much time at the computer screen or are just exhausted after some long stressful period.  \n\nYoung people and teenagers are more likely to be the type of "owl" and it changes, as they are getting older. People like artists or writers mostly belong to your group, while managers or doctors for example are more likely to be the "skylarks".

This happens to me sometimes too. I think that mine is from eating too early or too late. I can't eat anything before 10-11am and nothing after 6pm. Sometimes I even feel sick though when I just eat a regular meal.  I don't know the cause of it,but have no other symptoms to indicate a problem,so I just live with it.\n\nIf you are experiencing other symptoms,I would recommend that you speak with your physician. If it concerns you greatly,see your doctor too.

People arent really sure if mosquitoes are attracted to light but one source says mosquitoes actually veer away from the light source at the last minute. To the mosquitoe, the area just outside of the light appears darker. Moths, being nocturnal, head towards the dark patch, which is always just around the light. Confusing aint it?

Mosquitoes do not actually “bite” humans; they “feed” on them. Female mosquitoes require protein to produce their eggs and obtain this protein from the blood of humans and other animals.  Only the females feed.  I think they're also attracted to scents that some humans emit.  I also heard once that they don't bother people who are tanned near as much as a non tanned person.  I'm not sure how true that is if at all.

I learned when a mosquito bites you, she's sticking her needle-like mouthpart into your skin and injecting saliva rich in anticoagulating enzymes so the blood will flow smoothly. Some people are sensitive to those enzymes so their skin itches and when you scratch it, it's irritating the skin even more which will lead to redness and minor swelling around the area of the bite. \n\nI could be wrong since my knowledge on the subject is more than 10 years old. ^_^;

Because you smell the tastiest.\n\nEver wonder why the mosquitoes bite you and not the guy next to you? They are attracted to certain chemicals in the carbon dioxide being released from your body and the guy next to you doesn't have as much of these chemicals in his carbon dioxide as you do. However, there are thousands of chemicals already identified in human carbon dioxide release! What are these certain chemicals that attract mosquitoes? Have they been identified? Yes! but the scientists who discovered them aren't telling us exactly what they are! That’s right they are keeping these facts a secret! All they will say is that three key chemical signatures found in the release of human carbon dioxide will attract mosquitoes at a rate of 100%.

when the mosquito bites, their proboscis (the straw-like feeding device) penetrates the skin up to the subcutaneous layer of the skin beneath the dermis. When this happens, an inflammation occurs. The basophilic and mast cells (type of white blood cell) is stimulated to release HISTAMINE which contracts the smooth muscles. Since WBC uses glucose as source of energy, lactic acid is produced from glucose. Lactic acid plus the contraction of the smooth muscles plus interleukin produced by WBC gives you the ITCHINESS. The increased flow of blood in the area causes REDNESS and increase plasma concentration causes SWELLING. \n\nAnd thats how a mosquito bite itch.

3 every morning work for me.  I actually see the mosquito approach me and fly away!  I used to swell up horribly from them.  I eat bananas, too.
