The Independent (US)Why do I get bitten by mosquitoes but others don’t? Here’s what a new study says
There are people who look like a real "imam" to mosquitoes. It takes a few minutes outdoors to accumulate bites and whoever's next door comes out completely unharmed. Coincidence? Science says no.
They really love the heat! Mosquitoes are back, maybe you've been fresh since the beginning of summer. But have you noticed that we're not all equal in front of them? Why do some people never get stinged? Is there really mosquito skin? If a mosquito attacks you, it's not for the color of your skin, nor because of the light, let alone the taste of your blood. It's attracted above all by the amount of CO2 you're exhaling. (Company topics).
Human body odor and skin microbiome may determine which people are more likely to be targeted by mosquitoes.
New research confirms that some people are indeed more attractive to mosquitoes.
