What is it in the body that makes mosquitoes bite some people and not others?

Question

also, is there any food or drink you could fit into your diet that keeps them from biting? other that bug spray lol

Answer 1

It is a combination of things.  

when I put my hand out to the screen of my bedroom window, then I put my hand elsewhere, they will follow my hand.  My friend also put their hand on the screen but they followed my hand instead when I moved about.  

They follow the carbon dioxide that you exhale and your body temperature which gives them an indication of your blood type.  They do tend to go after ppl with certain blood types.  

Answer 2

Their type of blood, some mosquito's like really warm blood. For example, my dad and I always get attacked,, but my mom and sister don't . It just depends on the blood they like.

Bug spray doesn't work, sorry but they will always bite,

Hope I helped.

xxoo.

Answer 3

I heard that they are heavily attracted to potassium. So drinking less milk? i wouldn't worry about it. I live in probably the worst place for skeets, Southeast missouri. Empty out "wet" places. Such as bird baths and what not. Mow your grass. And use bug spray it does work.
