Six Reasons Why Mosquitoes

Find You Irresistible

IF YOU ARE DRINKING ALCOHOL, A


MOSQUITO COULD BE MORE PRONE TO BITE.

Mosquitoes are attracted to bodies with warm


temperatures. Since ingesting alcohol can make
your body temperature rise up, it makes it likely
that mosquitoes will be tempted to bite you when
more than they were when you were sober.

IF YOU HAVE O TYPE BLOOD, THAT IS WHAT A


MOSQUITO LOVES TO DRINK

As per a study, people with O type blood are eighty


three percent more likely to get bitten by mosquitoes
than people with other blood types since it is the
most common blood type in the world.

IF YOU ARE PREGNANT, A MOSQUITO IS


LIKELY TO TARGET YOU.
The carbon dioxide exhaled by you draws
mosquitoes to you more than everyone else who
exhales less frequently. Another factor is that while
pregnant, you are likely to swell up, leaving more
room and warmer body temperatures for mosquitoes
to get attracted to.

IF YOU SWEAT MORE THAN OTHERS,


YOU ARE ATTRACTIVE TO A MOSQUITO

Human sweat contains lactic acid which attracts


bugs in general and mosquitoes are no exception.
A mosquito uses the receptors in its antennae to
identify the smell of sweat and then to figure
out if a biteable human being is nearby.

IF YOU DON’T BELIEVE IN WASHING YOURSELF


REGULARLY, A MOSQUITO CAN HUNT YOU DOWN

The bacterial colonies in your skin when mixed with


your sweat attracts mosquitoes easily, So it won’t hurt
to wash yourself regularly.

IF YOU LIKE TO EAT BANANAS AND SALTY FOODS,


MOSQUITOES WILL TRY TO EAT YOU TOO

This is beacause of the high levels of potassium that


the banana fruit contains, more so than the actual
fruit itself. Oddly enough, mosquitoes are more
attracted to you when you have just eaten food high
in potassium as well as salt.
