?? I don't eat bananas and I get bitten

I don't eat bananas too often, have below average potassium levels and take medication for asthma and manic depression. They leave me alone most of the time. But then there's always that one little persistent one in the middle of the night as you're falling asleep in the dark, buzzing by your ear just to let you know she's there, and that's when I grab my mosquito repellant spray. Then I sleep all better while my partner gets all bit up.

Mosquitos are attracted to anything sweet that smells like a flower or fruit.......So yes, if you eat bananas alot, mosquitos would probably be attracted to you............

yes. bananas make the blood smell 'sweet' and a mosquito can smell someone who eats bananas up to a mile away....
i got lost in the jungles of mexico, ran out of food and water, came across some bananas and ate them....for the rest of my stumblings towards civilisation a cloud of them travelled with me, and i got dengue fever..until i found the fruit, nothing had bitten me....

yes, there is a natural chemical in them that attracks them, even if it is in your body(you ate it) it still senses it, especially if it was rescently.... A Park Ranger told me.
