I have that too, people say it's "sweet blood" Actually some people seem to have a sweeter smell that atracts them, there are also smells that atract them, if you have eaten something or are wearing a scent. If you try repelants for some reason they seem to then attract bees, the combination of the repelant and a person who aleady attracts mosqitos, don't know why, just be aware. I don't know how to help it, hopefully someone else does.

do u always wear black clothig? Black or dark clothing attract mosquitoes a lot. Tips on how to get rid of them fast is that u need a sorossi bath. Sorossi is a herb and u soak the herb and u wash whereever u have the scar and they will go away withinh 2 days. I don't know if sorossi is in the USA but in Belize we use herbs to treat illness

Its your scent they like. I have the same problem.
You can try using lavender lotions or some insect repellent OFF! makes a really good smelling one.
If you already have some mosquito bites try not to scratch them it will just make it more worse. Buy some calamine lotion and apply that or some anti itch cream.

I have the same problem. It is something about our body chemistry; I am not sure what it is.
As far as getting rid of the bites, I usually use calamine lotion or some other anti itch lotion.

If you wear scented lotion, perfume, hairspray, etc. you will likely get bitten. Don't wear anything scented if you know you are going to be outside for any length of time.

They usually will land on all people, but they only bite you because your skin may not be as tough or as easy to pierce thru as someone else.~

I know it sucks, try not to wear lotions or perfumes if you are going to be outside for a long period of time.

They also love banana and avocado. If you have eaten any recently or wear any of those scents, they are attracted to it.
