Why Mosquitoes Prefer Certain People
Some individuals tend to be bitten by mosquitoes more than others due to biological and chemical factors, such as the amount of carbon dioxide they emit while breathing, body temperature, and natural skin odors produced by bacteria. These factors, including physical activity and larger body sizes, are associated with increased attractiveness to mosquitoes. Additionally, consuming alcohol raises the likelihood of being bitten. Scientists are currently working to understand individuals' chemical signatures in order to develop more effective ways to prevent mosquito bites and the diseases they transmit.
