Mosquito's see infra red HEAT and go for a warm body like ours. They are also attracted by odors. It is not sweet they like though. The odor produced by Limburger cheese really attracts them. The fungus that makes that smell in the cheese is the same one that people get when they have athletes feet. Very common and many carry it. Garlic in the diet does help repel them. Have you noticed they go for the feet when ever they get the chance.

You must be extra sweet if the skeeters are always after you. Many insects bites can blister, not dangerous unless the blisters get infected. Thats not to say that there aren't dangerous insects out there.

little known fact. skeeters are attracted to salt. therfore if you use alot of salt or someone that sweats alot would attract more of the pests. makes a good case for frequent showers.
