It’s likely that you and some friends go on an evening adventure, and while everyone else is having fun, you’re grumbling about mosquitoes. Sometimes you can find yourself asking, “Why do mosquitoes attack me so much?”.....READ THE FULL STORY>>.....READ THE FULL STORY>>
There is a widespread misunderstanding that the reason is because your “blood is wonderful.” Multiple hypothesized explanations have been proposed by scientists. I’ve written this piece, which makes use of data found on MedicineNet, in an effort to provide some clarity on the matter at hand.
(1) Your unique bodily odor Mosquitoes are drawn to certain aromas and can identify particular chemicals on your skin and in your sweat. Some people’s skin secretes substances that attract mosquitoes, including lactic acid, ammonia, and cholesterol.
Body temperature – a few persons have somewhat higher than normal core body temperatures. These people are mosquitoes’ favorite meal. Wearing dark colors makes you a more appealing target since they conceal heat loss.
3. the size of the body According to the findings of research, mosquitoes tend to bite those who have larger frames. Possible causes include an increase in core body temperature and/or a larger volume of red blood cells in the blood.
People who consume alcohol, particularly beer, are more likely to get bitten by mosquitos. The root of the problem is yet to be determined.
5. Blood type – If you’ve been informed that your blood is sweet, it’s likely because mosquitoes find your blood type to be particularly appealing. Those with blood type O are more likely to experience mosquito bites.
6. Pregnant women have a higher body temperature and blood volume, increasing their mosquito bite risk.
7. There are a number of different reasons why mosquitoes are driven to particular types of genetic architecture. Scientists have discovered a correlation between certain blood types and an increased risk of mosquito bites.
