00:00According to the Department of Health, from January 1 to June 15, almost 78,000 cases of dengue in the Philippines were reported this year.
00:10Only 205 people died because of dengue compared to the last year, when dengue cases increased by almost 15% this year.
00:20Suki, even if you avoid everything, have you experienced that you are almost bitten by a mosquito?
00:24Yes.
00:25But next to you, there is not a single bite.
00:27The mosquitoes also look juicy.
00:29To better understand the taste of mosquitoes when it comes to their bites,
00:33we will be joined by the general physician, Dr. Suki, Dr. Via Roderos Galvan.
00:39Dr. Via, welcome to Dapat Alamo.
00:41Welcome back, Dr. Via.
00:42Thank you, Kim and Susan.
00:44Dr. Via, there are some factors that mosquitoes usually look for in their victims.
00:49One of them is the blood type.
00:51What is the blood type of mosquitoes?
00:53Actually, there are many reasons, Kim.
00:56Number one, based on the studies of our experts,
00:59we can see that the blood type O is more likely to be bitten by mosquitoes.
01:04Because mosquitoes have receptors that can detect the blood type of a human being.
01:11They are good.
01:12Me too.
01:13Let's bite each other.
01:14Let's bite each other.
01:15I also get bitten by mosquitoes.
01:16What is the type that they don't like?
01:18Usually, another type would be AB.
01:23AB is another, but O is more likely.
01:26AB is the rarest.
01:29So usually, blood type O.
01:32What is the blood type O?
01:34Type O.
01:36Dr. Via, according to some studies,
01:38it is said that when a person sweats,
01:40or even if they sweat, they are the one who gets bitten by mosquitoes.
01:45Is this true?
01:46Actually, there are many factors.
01:47Sweating actually has no smell.
01:49What makes us sweat, which attracts mosquitoes, are the microbes.
01:54The germs that are in our skin.
01:56That's why proper hygiene is necessary,
01:59especially if we want to avoid getting bitten by mosquitoes.
02:02Because it's the microbes in our skin that causes the bite.
02:06So if we have a lot of microbes in our skin,
02:07there will be more mosquitoes.
02:08Before taking a bath, mosquitoes won't bite you.
02:10Yes, that's why hygiene is important.
02:12It's beautiful.
02:13Doc, it's said that the color of clothes has an effect on attracting mosquitoes.
02:16Is that true?
02:17That's right, Kim.
02:18Mosquitoes are more prone to see darker colors.
02:23So they can see green or black.
02:27That's why when we wear lighter colors like gray or white,
02:31it's less likely that they will see that.
02:33So they won't bite you?
02:35It's less likely that we won't get bitten if we wear lighter colors.
02:42It's just white.
02:44What about carbon dioxide?
02:45When you exhale, it attracts mosquitoes.
02:50Actually, that's another factor that attracts mosquitoes.
02:54The more likely you are that you'll exhale more carbon dioxide,
02:59like mosquitoes,
03:00because they need more air intake.
03:02Mosquitoes also get bitten more often?
03:04Yes, because they need more air intake.
03:08So they also exhale more carbon dioxide.
03:12I know that mosquitoes are more likely to get bitten by Mr. because of his beard.
03:15That's different, Kim.
03:17That's a big beard.
03:18Thank you so much, Dr. Roderos Galvan.
03:20Thank you so much for coming, Doc.
03:24Thank you, Doc.
03:25Thank you, Doc.
