Pregnancy increases the risk of mosquito bites

According to a 2000 study, pregnant women are more frequently targeted by mosquitoes. Many people believe that this is because blood volume often increases by 30 to 50 percent during pregnancy, but the truth is that this is simply because heat and carbon dioxide, which mosquitoes find attractive, is produced at higher rates during pregnancy. This also explains why fat people are more prone to get bitten by mosquitoes as their bodies produce more heat, more carbon dioxide when breathing, and greater surface area.

Many people merely find mosquito bites slightly bothersome, but for a small percentage of people, mosquito bites can occasionally cause severe allergic reactions and even infection. In the worst situations, pregnant women who are bitten by mosquitoes not only cause itching and discomfort, but also deadly viruses carried by mosquitoes can damage the fetus, potentially deformities, and infect other diseases.
