babeface3: Mosquitoes are picky creatures — unsurprising if you’re the one always ducking for cover under a swarm of bloodsuckers while your friend remains unscathed. Good thing scientists are on the hunt to discover what makes certain people especially attractive to the tiny insects. Here are nine reasons they’ve come up with so far.mosquito and liquor go together... Interesting! |

Are bees the same? When I was a kid, I disturbed a beehive with some of my little friends, and guess what? I was the only one who wasn't stung repeatedly in the madness that followed. Ever since then, I've noticed them (the bees) just hovering around me. It's quite unusual. I even stopped wearing fragrances for a bit, thinking it was the reason, but nothing. Oh well. It'll bee alright. 1 Like |

From the entomologist point of view, large body mass does attract mosquito. Also, the thing about the blood group O is debatable. Mosquitoes can't tell one blood grp from anoda. However, there are protective factors even when bitten. These include- #Infants less than 6 months. #AS hemoglobin genotype....@ they don't suffer the severe form. #Africans especially in the tropics-- we've got the Duffy antigens and are saved from the vivax specie of mosquito. Moreover, we're in endemic area and as such, can't suffer the severe form of malaria since our immune system has been equiped via exposure to mosquito from child birth. #Those lacking G-6-P-D enzyme. Therefore, the blood group O thing 'may' just be a protective factor. Malaria could be worst in the following group- #Infants greater than 6 months because the maternal immunity must have waned by then. #SS genotype. #White race. #Pregnant women. |

It is not the smelly body that attracts mosquito, its rather a deduction that once you smelly, you'll likely have a dirty environment. |
