Why are some people more attractive to mosquitoes?
Quick fact
Mosquitoes are attracted to carbon dioxide, body heat, lactic acid, and specific skin bacteria—and they prefer people with Type O blood over Type A by nearly double.
Why this is interesting
About 20% of people are mosquito magnets, attracting up to 4 times more bites—and it's not just about smelly skin; it's written in your genes and your metabolism.
