I've noticed that whenever i am outside, I seem to be ravaged by mosquitos -- even when I wear bug repellent. if I happen to forget the bug repellent, any exposed skin becomes covered (literally -- COVERED) in bites.
however, i've noticed that many other people (who don't wear any bug repellent, and have plenty of exposed skin) get little to no bug bites at all. what makes a person appetizing to these itchy little vermin? is there a scent or hormone mosquitos somehow detect on certain people? why me?!

Do not wear perfume, unscented soaps and lotions. These all attract mosquitoes. Body odor would also.
Some people especially those who are more sensitive to the bites seem to attract them more......

Tell them to buzz off.
I personally do that MYSELF! :D
