Its like mosquito prefer one person to another

each time i sleep, they come out from WHEREVER and ravage my legs and hand and suck away

however,those i sleep under the same roof and in the same bed arent afected while my body is swolen.

Why do they prefer to suck my blood and leave others and how can i make them loose interest in me.?

Problem: Too much sugar in ur blood..

Solution: take 2 cups of alomo bitters every morning and evening .. If it doesnt kill, it will make improve mosquito resistance level

I read somewhere not quite long ago that mosquitoes are attracted to people with AA Genotype much more than other Genotypes.


You can find out more about that.

The truth is that mosquito bite some people and they don't realize it. On the other hand, mosquito bite on others is very obvious.

First pray. Do you pay your tithes? If not you need to do so quickly. Then read 1 John 13. Only then will mosquitoes stop biting you.

You are welcome in advance!

Mosquitoes belong to a group of insects that requires blood to develop fertile eggs. Males do not lay eggs, thus, male mosquitoes do not bite. The females are the egg producers and "host-seek" for a blood meal. Female mosquitoes lay multiple batches of eggs and require a blood meal for every batch they lay. Few people realize that mosquitoes rely on sugar as their main source of energy. Both male and female mosquitoes feed on plant nectar, fruit juices, and liquids that ooze from plants. The sugar is burned as fuel for flight and is replenished on a daily basis. Blood is reserved for egg production and is imbibed less frequently


Scientists are still investigating the complexities involved with mosquito host acceptance and rejection. Some people are highly attractive to mosquitoes and others are rarely bothered. Mosquitoes have specific requirements to satisfy, and process many different factors before they feed. Many of the mosquito?s physiological demands are poorly understood and many of the processes they use to evaluate potential blood meal hosts remain a mystery. Female mosquitoes use the CO2 we exhale as their primary cue to our location. A hostseeking mosquito is guided to our skin by following the slip stream of CO2 that exudes from our breath. Once they have landed, they rely on a number of short-range attractants to determine if we are an acceptable blood meal host. Folic acid is one chemical that appears to be particularly important. Fragrances from hair sprays, perfumes, deodorants, and soap can cover these chemical cues. They can also function to either enhance or repel the hostseeking drive. Dark colors capture heat and make most people more attractive to mosquitoes. Light colors refract heat and are generally less attractive. Detergents, fabric softeners, perfumes, and body odor can counteract the effects of color. In most cases, only the mosquito knows why one person is more attractive than another..... cool

Mosquitoes aren't selective about who to bite. What happens is that our skins and systems detect and react differently to mosquito bites.

Stop talking trash. Mosquitoes don't discriminate, and they can bite anyone to stupor - AA, AS, or SS. But the fact is that, AS and SS bloods are resistant to the malaria parasite (plasmodium).
So, even if 100 mosquitoes bite an AS subject and only 20 bite an AA subject, the latter will manifest signs of malaria earlier than the former.
