We know that mosquitoes like to bite some people and not others. There are a variety of factors making some specific people be targeted by mosquitoes. The first one is the amount of Carbon dioxide a person breathes out. Most mosquitoes can detect carbon dioxide changes around them. More carbon dioxide will make it easier to find its potential prey. Researchers also found that some people have high concentrations of certain compounds on their skins or in sweat, such as some steroids, cholesterol or lactic acids produced by the sweat glands. They will be easier to attract mosquitoes than people who have low concentrations. In addition, some other factors like the alcohol consumption or the heat generated from the bodies can also help attract mosquitoes.
