Some things can make you more attractive to mosquitoes. Check out a few reasons these pests may be bugging you.
1. Carbon Dioxide
Mosquitoes can detect and are attracted to carbon dioxide. Unfortunately, you release this every time you exhale.
2. Sweat
Sweat contains lactic acid, which mosquitoes can detect. When you are sweating, there’s a greater chance mosquitoes will find you.
3. Body Odor
Mosquitoes use their sense of smell to find food. They can easily smell body odor.
4. Dark Colors
Dark colors absorb light and retain heat. This increases your body temperature making it easier for mosquitoes to find you.
5. Strong Fragrances
Perfumes and colognes with a strong scent can attract mosquitoes. They’re drawn to floral scents since they feed on nectar too.
6. Blood Type
While mosquitoes will feed on anyone, they do have preferences. Some mosquitoes are more attracted to type O blood over type A or B.
