Why do I attract mosquitoes more than other people?
Thanks for asking. Warm summer nights often bring unwelcome guests into our homes in the form of mosquitoes.
For now, we fortunately don't have any mosquito -borne diseases being transmitted to humans in the UK, but with the warmer temperatures brought on by climate change, it may only be a matter of time until we do.
You may have noticed that some of us seem to attract more mosquito bites than others, even within the same household or having been at the same gathering.
A popular belief is that mosquitoes have a preference for certain types of skin because they find them sweeter.
That's because in addition to blood, female mosquitoes also feed on the sugar found in the nectar of certain flowers.
Is skin sweetness really the most important factor?
In reality, the answer lies in a combination of factors, including genetics, body odour and even blood type.
Studies have shown that genetics play a role in determining our body odour.
which is a key factor in attracting mosquitoes.
Our body odour varies greatly depending on our microbiota.
That's the combination of all the different types of bacteria that are on the surface of our skin.
Believe it or not, our bodies actually host as many as 100 trillion bacteria from 400 different species.
Additionally, people with type O blood tend to be more attractive to mosquitoes, while those with type A blood are less appealing.
healing. So, blame your genes and blood type for those pesky bites.
What does CO2 have to do with it?
We've known for a long time that CO2 attracts mosquitoes.
According to NPR .org, they can detect it from over 30 feet away.
Some people actually release more CO2 from their bodies than others, as CO2 production is linked to factors like breathing and sweating.
Generally speaking, you're more likely to release a higher amount of CO2 if you have a high heart rate, so it's common among pregnant women and overweight people.
It may also affect you after a workout or after drinking alcohol.
Mosquitoes are also sensitive to lactic acid, a substance released with sweat, so the more you sweat the more likely you are to get bitten.
CO2 emitting traps have actually been introduced reduced in some places to mimic human breathing and lure mosquitoes in.
Does my choice of clothing make any difference?
Absolutely. Your clothing choices can impact your susceptibility to mosquito bites.
Mosquitoes are adept at detecting visual cues such as color and contrast. Darker colors tend to absorb more heat and stand out in the environment, making you an easier target.
