Can bugs be more attracted to some people more than others?

Question

Not just mosquitoes, but all bugs.

i have a huge phobia for bugs, and for some reason, they always seem to come to me.

yesterday i encountered three bugs in my room, and none of the windows were open. i live in scandanavia, so it's not like we get an insane amount of bugs either.

a spider literally catapaulted itself at me a few weeks ago ( O___X really. it was practically flying)

yet none of my family members seem to have as many bug problems as me.

is there a reason for this, do you think? or is it just a coincidence?

Answer 1

  Unless the critters feed off you they won't be attracted to you.

  Mosquitoes are attracted to carbon dioxide and some people exude more than others making them more attractive.

Answer 2

you may just believe that bugs are more attracted to you because you are afraid of them. if someone doesnt care about bugs, they wont notice them as much as you do. so in reality theyre probably bothering you as much as everyone else.
