why do mosquitoes bite you more than anyone else?

...yummy ka daw kasi  :D











Well, according to science (SCIENCE!)  20 percent of people who are especially yummy treats. And Most Popular Food Ever superlative with the mosquitoes is caused by a variety of factors.

Scientists say that everything from blood type, to metabolism, to skin bacteria and clothing color factor in. People who wear dark colors are easier for mosquitoes to find. Certain skin bacteria are found attractive by the bloodsuckers. They also love sweatier people, because sweat contains the fragrant lactic acid, uric acid and ammonia that they so enjoy. Your blood type could also be the culprit: Mosquitoes enjoy Type O blood more than any other. (Type B blood is their backup fave snack.) Being with child brings them on, too: Pregnant women are more likely to get bitten than others (not pregnant so not my problem). Drinking beer attracts them. Even expelling more carbon dioxide — you know, taking deeper breaths — can elicit a mosquito reaping.


But the biggest factor for whether you will be mosquito lunchmeat is genetics. Scientists believe that genetics actually make for around 85 percent of the reason mosquitoes might choose you over someone else. Sadly, there’s no way of modifying the genes that make your flesh so desirable (and my guess is it’s low on the list of possible future studies).






So guys, wear light-colored clothes outside, stay away from beer (easy),
 and keep your sweating to a minimum.  ;)

im a mosquito fave. Kahit sino kasama ko. Mapa gf man o tropa ay mas kinakagat ako kesa kanila. Kahit bagong paligo ako pa ako. Siguro sa genes o kaya feeling ng mga lamok mas mabubusog sila sa akin kasi mataba ako  ::lmao anyway nabasa ko lang din na ang pag kain ng saging ay nakaka attract din ng lamok.

Page icecoldchiq, perhaps those were gnats rather than mosquitoes. Gnats like swarming around a person's head because the carbon dioxide attracts them.

Yes, gnats do resemble mosquitoes and they also bite. You have to be careful with their bites since gnats have a tendency to gather on rotten food or decomposing animals. So if a gnat bites you, wash it immediately with soap and water. You can apply an antiseptic to the bite afterwards just to be sure.
