Why mosquitos prefer to bite some people (ME) but not the others?

Question

When, my family members often leave the door open too long and or forgot to close the door. As a result, mosquitos went into our house.
But mosquitos always only bite ME > I mean, I am not smelling or anything. I wash my hair and take shower everyday. I change and wash my cloth often.

Answer 1

Scientists are still investigating the complexities involved with mosquito host acceptance and rejection. Some people are highly attractive to mosquitoes and others are rarely bothered. Mosquitoes have specific requirements to satisfy, and process many different factors before they feed. Many of the mosquito?s physiological demands are poorly understood and many of the processes they use to evaluate potential blood meal hosts remain a mystery. Female mosquitoes use the CO2 we exhale as their primary cue to our location. A hostseeking mosquito is guided to our skin by following the slip stream of CO2 that exudes from our breath. Once they have landed, they rely on a number of short-range attractants to determine if we are an acceptable blood meal host. Folic acid is one chemical that appears to be particularly important. Fragrances from hair sprays, perfumes, deodorants, and soap can cover these chemical cues. They can also function to either enhance or repel the hostseeking drive. Dark colors capture heat and make most people more attractive to mosquitoes. Light colors refract heat and are generally less attractive. Detergents, fabric softeners, perfumes, and body odor can counteract the effects of color. In most cases, only the mosquito knows why one person is more attractive than another.

I was in Viet Nam for a year with the Marines and didn't get bitten too much because we couldn't take showers and we didn't have any soap. You mention that you get bitten even though you are washing, well this is what is attracting the mosquitos to you. The dirtier you are the less attractive or it may be something in the soap/shampoo.

I guess you don't like repellents because they stink? Mosquitos think the same way.

Answer 3

Only female mosquitoes actually suck blood, and not all species need it to survive. Most mosquitoes supplement their diet with nectar from plants.

To find sources of fresh human blood, mosquitoes fly toward carbon dioxide in the air we exhale. They're also attracted by heat that comes off our bodies and to chemicals produced by bacteria that live on our skin.

In fact, your particular body chemistry may determine how appealing you smell to a hungry skeeter. This could account for why some people tend to get bitten more often than others

Basically it comes down to body chemistry

Answer 5

Female mosquitoes bite...and they are attracted by heat.

You...must sleep very soundly...or...have nerve receptors that are somewhat deeper than others so you don't feel the mosquito when she lands looking for the vessels.

It has nothing to do with smell.

heat you give off to attract her and how sensitive your epithelial cells are to her landing...having body hair is good for something.

Answer 6

I agree with Rick. Some people just get bitten crazily whilst others are untouched.
I don't have much to add but I agree. I remember my brother when we were kids....we used to count his mosquito bites..Once : 85 in one day !!!!!!!! Hard to believe I know.
I get bitten too.....but nothing bad. Some people definitely seem to attract them.
