Known on social networks such as @enfermerojorgeangel, Jorge Ángel already has more than one million followers and has been using his hospital experience to publicize scientific health advice. In one of his latest videos, he drew attention to the mosquito behavior and explained how to prevent bites with small adjustments in everyday life, starting with the color of the clothes.
According to the nurse, quoted by the Spanish newspaper La Vanguardia, they are the females that spot, as they need blood nutrients to feed the eggs. Jorge Ángel recommends the use of repellents, preferably those containing permethrin, also applicable in clothing, which should always be clear. He adds that wearing long -sleeved pieces, pants and socks helps protect the body effectively.
Color of clothes and standing water make a difference
This practical advice involves choosing the colors of clothing: clear tones drive mosquitoes away, unlike the darkest ones that attract them with great frequency. The nurse also underlines the importance of eliminating all containers with stagnant water, such as vases, old tires or exterior toys, which serve as a reproduction focus for these insects.
Hygiene and maintenance of drinkers of domestic animals and children’s pools are equally fundamental. Jorge Ángel recommends that they empty and clean regularly to reduce risks.
Mosquitoes in windows and beds
In addition to previous measures, the health professional highlights the usefulness of mosquitoes in windows and doors, but also in beds, especially in zones with greater presence of mosquitoes. These physical barriers remain one of the most reliable solutions.
In the comments to the video, and according to the same source, many users have shared experiences and homemade tricks. There were those who mention the use of essential oils, such as the tree tree, and even bracelets sold in supermarkets. However, the effectiveness of these alternative methods is not consensual among experts.
The video has become viral and raised several curious questions from the followers, including questions about the transmission of viruses by mosquitoes or what to do when the sting gets stuck in the skin. Jorge Ángel answered several of the doubts, encouraging the public to stay informed and to adopt preventive behaviors.
Simple measures with real impact
Although most mosquito bites cause only itching and irritation, in certain contexts, such as tropical trips, they can be a gateway to serious illness. Hence the importance of following advice such as those of Jorge Ángel, which do not imply high costs, but can avoid unnecessary health complications.
According to the informative content that shares has been praised by several professionals and by those who follow it, reinforcing the growing role of social networks in public health promotion, provided that the information is reliable and sustained.
