We all know people who are convinced that mosquitoes are especially attracted to them. While that may be true, the things that do attract them can vary widely and be hard for us to control or undo. For instance, some research says that perfume and other smells are what lures them in while other data points to blood type with type O blood being their favorite. But wait – there’s more! Body odor, the smell of your breath, the heat from your skin and alcohol can also be potential sources of attraction for mosquitoes. In other words, you can’t be too dirty or too clean – if a mosquito wants to take a bit out of you, they will.
