I'm sitting on the same table with my family but it's only me who's getting bitten by mosquitos. Can somebody tell me why??

You are probably wearing something sweet smelling, that or as I have been told, you have some good sweet blood that the mosquitoes just cannot resist. I took that as a compliment, and so should you. That means that you are smelling extra nice and the buggies can't resist. All the best.

Mosquitos are attracted to the carbon dioxide coming from your skin. (Actually, Mosquitoes are attracted by perspiration, warmth, body odor, carbon dioxide, and light.) You merely put off more and thus are more attractive to the bugs. Consider bug repellent, or as I have discovered, Vitamin B1 (taken in mega-doses) actually acts as a natural mosquito repellent.
I weigh about 200 lbs and take 500 Mg per day every morning. I haven't been bitten once this year. Vitamin B1 is a water soluable vitamin, which means that overages are sloughed off through the body waste - one of which is the moisture and oils which come out of our skin. B1 is available even in Walmart. Start out low and slowly build up to where the bugs simply stop biting. Take it every day. (Th eonly side effect is that you smell a bit like medicine...., but I"ll take that smell during the bug months, just so I don't have to be bitten!)

You must be wearing black. Or your blood is of a tastier variety.... serious.
