There are many resident bacteria on the soles of the feet.

One characteristic of people who are more likely to be bitten by mosquitoes is having a high amount of resident bacteria on the soles of their feet. Mosquitoes are attracted to the odors emitted by these bacteria, so people with more of them are particularly prone to mosquito bites. This fact was presented in 2016 as the result of research by Taiki Tanoue, who was a second-year high school student at the time.

answer

Heat in a microwave

Daikon is often associated with the image of slowly simmering it to let the flavors soak in, but in fact, simply heating it in the microwave before simmering makes it easy for the flavors to penetrate. The reason is that the microwave’s heat destroys the cells of the daikon.

carbonated drink

When you want to remove tarnish or discoloration from silver accessories, using a carbonated drink can actually be effective. Carbonated beverages contain acidic components that loosen dirt and oxides on the surface of silver items, making them easy to remove. To use, soak the silver item in a carbonated drink for a few minutes, then gently polish it with a soft cloth. However, leaving it for too long can have the opposite effect, so keep the soaking time short. Also, if the item is decorated, take care not to damage the decorative parts.

rubber band

When you can't find the edge of plastic wrap, wrap a rubber band around the roll and turn it slowly; it makes the edge easier to find.

Hang it inside out to dry.

By turning clothes inside out when hanging them to dry, you can prevent direct sunlight from hitting the outer surface and avoid color fading. Also, if you turn them inside out before putting them in the washing machine, it helps protect the outer fibers from wear and tear.

Janet's law

The law of Jäné (Janet’s law) is a phenomenon proposed by the French psychologist Paul Janet. As we age, past periods of time feel relatively shorter, which can make it seem as though time passes more quickly.

straw

A straw can’t be used as a substitute for a bottle opener. That being the case, a carabiner and paper can serve as substitutes! You can place the cap against the inside of a carabiner and use leverage to pop it open. Or fold an A4 sheet several times into a narrow strip, bend it into a U shape, wedge it under the cap, and push up to open it. Give these a try when you don’t have a bottle opener on hand!
