Ever notice how mosquitoes seem to frantically feast on some folks while ignoring others? It’s not just your imagination, says entomologist Joseph M. Conlon, a technical advisor to the American Mosquito Control Association.
“There is no question that some individuals are more attractive to mosquitoes due to chemicals they secrete from their skin and from their particular skin flora.”
Five possible reasons are :
- You’re pregnant
- You’re dripping with sweat
- You have type O blood
- You just had a beer
- Your genes make you more attractive
