I am fortunate to have a team of great nurses and a wonderful nutritionist in my office. As I was on my way into see a patient, I overheard one of our nurses going into great deal of detail educating a young patient with diabetes about the concerns of low blood sugar. Her conversation reminded me that this is a subject of great importance to patients with diabetes.
Mosquitoes are attracted to a number of chemical compounds that they can detect from an impressive 50 yards away. The males are not interested in your blood, but the females are a different story, thirsting after the protein and iron in your blood to produce their eggs.
4. Use mosquito repelling plants and flowers to beautify your space while repelling mosquitoes. It sounds too good to be true, but it actually helps! You can use rosemary, basil, lemon verbena and mint to ward off mosquitoes.lso check any plant saucers, rain-barrel lids, and furniture or grill covers. 2. Keep grass cut, bushes trimmed, and remove piles of lawn cuttings or debris. Mosquitoes like moist, cool areas and will hide in tall grass or bushes during the heat of the day.
