Six suffocate to death at Delhi home after mosquito coil tips over triggers fire

"The deceased include four adult males, an adult female and a half-year-old child".&nbsp;

As many as six people died due to suffocation while two others were injured after a fire broke out in a house at Mazar Wala Road, Machhi Market, Shastri Park, informed police officials on Friday. Police rushed to the spot and found that the injured had been taken to Jag Pravesh Chandra Hospital.
"Six people in a family were found dead in their house in the Shastri Park area after they inhaled carbon monoxide produced from the burning Mosquito coil that had fallen over a mattress sometime during the night. The toxic fumes caused inmates to lose consciousness and later died due to suffocation," said DCP North East district Joy Tirkey.
According to the DCP, the injured are being treated for burn injuries. "The deceased include four adult males, an adult female and a half-year-old child. The injured include a 15-year-old girl and an adult male," said Joy Tirkey. Further investigation is underway and details are awaited.

Are you a mosquito magnet? Know why mosquitos bite you more compared to others

A recent study has found that people who release too many chemicals from their skin are more prone to be bitten by mosquitos.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz! We all witness the terror of mosquitos, but you might have noticed that some people are bitten by mosquitos more as compared to others. We commonly call them &lsquo;sweet blooded&rsquo; but according to research these people are known as &ldquo;mosquito magnets&rdquo;.
It has been found that people who attract mosquitos the most actually release some amount of chemical from their skin and due to the smell, mosquitos tend to get more attracted to them.
A neurobiologist at Rockefeller University in New York, says that people who release too much of the chemical from their skin, are more prone to be bitten by mosquitos. So, if you think you are a mosquito magnet, take all precautions before falling prey to mosquitos.

Gangster seeks 'net protection' from in jail; court asks him to use Odomos

Gangster seeks 'net protection' in jail; court says 'use Odomos'

Gangster seeks 'net protection' from in jail; court asks him to use Odomos

Gangster Ejaz Lakdawala brought a plastic bottle filled with dead mosquitoes to a court to highlight the menace of these flying insects faced in a jail where he is lodged and sought a net, but his plea was rejected.
Lakdawala's application was turned down by the sessions court on Thursday.
Lakdawala, a former associate of fugitive gangster Dawood Ibrahim, is facing multiple criminal cases, including those under the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act. He was arrested in January 2020 and has been lodged at the Taloja prison in neighbouring Navi Mumbai since then.
He had recently filed an application in court seeking permission to use a mosquito net. Lakdwala, in his application, said that in 2020 when he was remanded in judicial custody, he was permitted to use one but in May this year, the prison authorities seized the net citing security concerns.
On Thursday, when Lakdawala was produced before the sessions court, he showed a plastic bottle filled with dead mosquitoes and said the inmates of Taloja jail have to face this problem everyday. But the jail authorities opposed the plea citing security reasons.
The court while rejecting the application said the accused applicant (Lakdawala) could use Odomos and other mosquito repellents.
Apart from Lakdawala, several undertrials from the Taloja prison have also filed similar applications.
In some applications, the request was allowed, but in others they were rejected.
Gangster D K Rao was permitted by the court to use mosquito net by one judge, but another judge did not permit the same to a few accused in the Elgar Parishad-Maoist links case and a direction was given to the prison authorities to take all necessary precautions to curb the mosquito menace.
In September this year, activist Gautam Navlakha had also filed an application seeking permission to use a net, which is still pending.

Mosquitoes attack 20% of the population more than the rest. Sight and smell are the two reasons why mosquitoes maybe biting you more.

Mosquitoes have a tendency to bite 20 percent of the population more than the rest

A study at the University of Florida shows that mosquitoes tend to feast on 20% of the population more than the rest. Sight and smell are the two main reasons why mosquitoes maybe biting you more

Here's why mosquitoes bite some people more than others

A study at the University of Florida said that female mosquitoes find 20% of the population more delicious than the rest. They choose their prey based on two factors: sight and smell.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Do you feel that mosquitoes single you out to snack on you more than others? Well, you are not entirely alone. A study by Jonathan Day, professor of medical entomology at the University of Florida concluded that female mosquitoes find 20% of the population more delicious than the rest. And yes, it&rsquo;s always a female mosquito that bites as they need human blood to develop fertile eggs.
The study also went on to list two compelling factors for the mosquitoes to pick out their prey &ndash; sight and smell.

Sight
Mosquitoes are highly visual, especially later in the afternoon and after dark, and their first mode of search for humans is through vision. Research in the Journal of Experimental Biology shows that mosquitoes are attracted to dark colours like black, navy blue, brown etc. So, if you are dressed in some of these colours, chances are that you might be a great feast for the mosquitoes.
Smell
Mosquitoes can sense carbon dioxide from a significant distance and this is the second cue for them to track you down. The more you exhale, the more attractive you become to them. Pregnant women and people with higher metabolic rates produce more carbon dioxide and are more prone to mosquito bites.
To protect yourself from becoming a mosquito&rsquo;s target, always carry a skin-friendly pest repellent&nbsp;spray. Also, if possible, wear light-coloured clothes with long sleeves. This can limit the area available for mosquitoes to snack on. A good pest control plan can also reduce the menace of mosquitoes buzzing inside your home.
