Why do mosquito's bite some people and not others?
Question:
Answers:
i heard it was a sort of smell coming from your skin...or sweat...also if your skin is warm you are more prone to get bitten....known fact...eat 1 or 2 bananas before going out...it cools the skin. and send a low smell that is offending to mosquitos
Other Answers:
It could be your blood type,and they could be attracted to other artificial smells you have from your deodorant, perfume, lotion, hair products.
i have no clue .. maybe they just like your blood better lol
It is said that they prefer darker and olive skins!!
I sound like the mosquito specialist today ! lol..also, some people don't actually get an allergic reaction. Maybe you are extra sensitive to the bites?
it depends on ur body temperature...i think they like warm bodies but im not sure. so ur body mus b really warm compared 2 ur famz
it has to do with your skin some are aattracted to scents and smells like perfume body spray, oil ( baby oil tanning oil) if you just got out of the shower soap body wash etc
i have read that it could have something to do with your blood, other reason maybe perfume or food that you have eaten
Scientists have come up with a new theory that some people have a 'smell' that repels them.
I don't think that this is actually the one I was looking for, but...
They are attracted to some smells, like sweat, or people who eat bananas. They just have an attraction but you should be using bug replelent with things like West Nile about.
they like fair skin.
I heard that scientists had recently identified the chemical in our natural scent which attracts them. Not everyone's bodies produce it in the same quantities.
Hi,
I am living in an country with a lot of mosquitos.
A nice trick will help you a lot.
Eat bananas! Mosquitos don't like the body smell of pople who are eating bananas!
Don't tell your partner and kids why you eat them. Eat them alone and you will see that the mosquitos use a other "Bloodbank".
Mosquitos seem to be attracted more to female body chemistry. I've found taking Vitamin B6 consistently keeps them away. It creates a bad smell & taste so they won't bite. Also, they are attracted to dark colors, especially navy blue so stay away from jeans.
I think that part of it is to do with your body heat as mentioned above. Mosquitos are very sensitive to heat and also carbon dioxide concentrations in the air. They can smell an exhalation of carbon dioxide from miles away.
The other possibility is how rich your blood is and if you are secreting hormones, for example pheremones. Obviously every animal feeds on the best food to survive and so it's a good bet that you have richer blood if you have more mosquito bites.
Its to do with the smell of the body, they can somehow detect whether they'll like the blood or not. If not, they won't go near you.
u have sweeet sweeet blood n u prbably smell sweet
I believe its to do with the amount of glucose in your blood and the rich foods you eat. Its only the females that bite to produce eggs so maybe they need the nourishment.
they are attracted to a natural smell that your body gives off
i dont wear aftershave perfume scented oil soaps anything and get bitten to death, true i always get bitten around warm parts of my bodu ie back of knees, i think its something to do with body odour (is that how u spell it)? I also react bad to bites my skin/body over reacts to the bite and infections, some people get bitten without even knowing it, my bites come up like golf balls scab up itch like mad, go burning hot and hard and hurt real bad... I thought it was just when i went on hols now midges in UK get me real bad! have to wear tracky bottoms all the time especially at night playing footy.. I sometimes use that jungle spray stuff works good just spray on your arms an legs before you go somewhere you know ur could get bitten, especially in this heat that breed like flys! i have dark olive skin too.. I heard vinegar and ciggerette ash stops the itching but dint want to try it LOL
I don't know, I'm hunting the fu***ng one who just bit me 3 times on my back.... I won't sleep until I get him and squash him so hard that there's nothing left but my blood...
Because they can!!!!!!
your blood must taste nicer..................
fly's round ****
