Its so strange because one night i was out with a lot of friends and they were oustide running around..SWEATING..while i was sitting(because iwas tired) watching them. WE go home next day, i wake up with over 40 mosquito bites. I talk to my friends they have none, (or like one or two). i feel like mosquitos love my skin...is it true that mosquitos like sweet skin or something?
thanks :)

Perfume and some lotions attract them. And they do like some people better - chemical, I guess.

Here's the facts: Mosquitoes are attracted to our body heat, or any warmer area and Carbon Dioxide which is exhaled when we breath out. Everyone was producing heat and CO2, however, YOU were sitting in one place. The others were running all over the place. The mosquitoes caught you quite easily, the others were fast moving targets and therefore didn't get stung nearly as much.

The latest research has determined that mosquitos are guided by smell. If you have ever smeled a vitamin bottle, the one vitamin that smells is B1. It is also a good repellent for mosquitos.

They could be attracted to you for lots of reasons. Especially certain deodorants, shampoos, skin lotions, or other scents. Buy some bug repellent, or Skin So Soft by Avon works GREAT.

how much sugar you eat, body chemistry and like others mentioned parfumes and lotions. I haven't 'knock on wood' had a bite thus far in about 3 years.. I attribute it to a no or low sugar diet ;)

This a commonly observed phenomen, and I have heard attempts at explanation, but no satisfactory. Probably something in your perpiration lacking in the others attracts them,
