Translation of "sebum" into English

Komarce privlači sebum, voštana, masna tvar na koži koja štiti kožu od isušivanja i sadrži molekule koje doprinose vašem mirisu. Krvna grupa također može biti važna, rekao je dr. Christopher Bazzoli, liječnik hitne medicine u klinici Cleveland koji se specijalizirao za medicinu divljine. Čini se da komarci više napadaju ljude krvne grupe nula, rekao je, iz razloga koje istraživači nisu potvrdili. Neki mirisni proizvodi za osobnu njegu poput određenih parfema i mirisnih sapuna i losiona (uključujući kreme za sunčanje) mogu privući komarce, rekao je dr. Bazzoli, pa ako namjeravate provoditi vrijeme na otvorenom gdje ima komaraca, pokušajte koristiti proizvode bez mirisa i razmislite o potpunom odustajanju od parfema.

Mosquitoes are attracted to sebum, a waxy, oily substance on the skin that protects it from drying out and contains molecules that contribute to your odor. Blood type may also matter, said Dr. Christopher Bazzoli, an emergency medicine physician at the Cleveland Clinic who specializes in wilderness medicine. Mosquitoes seem to gravitate toward people with Type O blood, he said, for reasons researchers haven’t confirmed. Some fragrant personal care products such as certain perfumes and scented soaps and lotions (including sunscreens) can attract mosquitoes, Dr. Bazzoli said, so if you’ll be spending time outdoors when mosquitoes are around, try to use products that are fragrance-free, and consider skipping the perfume completely.
