Do mosquitos attack?

Question

certain people? I've noticed that my daughter seems to get alot of bites while others do not.....

Answer 1

Yes, 1 in 10 people are highly attractive hosts to mosquitos. People with high concentrations of steroids or cholesterol on their skin surface attract mosquitoes. Mosquitoes also target people who produce excess amounts of certain acids, such as uric acid.

Mosquitos are also attracted to large amounts of carbon dioxide. Larger people tend to give off more carbon dioxide, which is why mosquitoes typically prefer munching on adults to small children. Pregnant women are also at increased risk, as they produce a greater-than-normal amount of exhaled carbon dioxide. Movement and heat also attract mosquitoes.

Answer 2

Lighter-skinned people are attacked more often than dark-skinned people. People who wear perfume or use scented soap are attacked more often. So are people who don't use soap at all.
