I don't know about you, but mosquitoes LOVE me. As soon as summer rolls around, I'm on the dinner menu. While my dad only gets maybe one bite, I come home with about twelve. I always thought that it was in my head, but it turns out there's actually a reason I get bitten so often.
Mosquitoes use smell to find us, which makes sense. Since everyone has slightly different bacteria on their skin, everyone smells a bit different, and it turns out some of us smell better than others.
It's not just our bacterial friends who send out smelly signals; mosquitoes are attracted to the carbon dioxide in our breath, and they tend to love people who are exercising....
