Why do insect or bugs like to bite me? =[

Question

Okay. So when i was little i played out side alot and rarely got bitten, but now i'm older and I stay inside more, but yesterday i went out side for a hour and i now have 16 bug bites! Also i went to thailand over the summer and i was sleeping right next to my mom and i woke up with 10 bug bites all up and down my arm my mom had none! In total i had about 60 bug bites coming back! i stayed there for a month. My grandpa said its because i have sweet sweat and the bugs like it. =[ Btw yesterday i didn't have perfume on or anything like that lotion nothing. I didn't take a bath yet but did after coming inside.

Answer 1

Part of it is your diet.  If you're going to be out for a while, stay away from sugars, syrups, and bananas.  Wash well with unscented soap and water.  Some odors attract more insects than others.  Your body may be disposing of more sweets than your mom's through the pores, or some medicines used by people can either attract or repel insects.  All in all, your body is fresher than your mother's, and her skin is probably tougher than yours.  Get some repellent for your next trip.

Answer 2

It is the body odour which attracts the insect....

Answer 3

Different people have different sweat. Bugs prefer your type of sweat to ur moms.
