5 Reasons mosquitoes bite you more than other people
1. What you are wearing
Findings have it that mosquitoes love darkness. After all they are nocturnal animals. Wearing black clothes means mosquitoes will easily be attracted to you.
2. Carbon dioxide
Research has it that the carbon dioxide excreted by man as a waste product play a great role at the rate at which mosquito bites you.
This waste is produced through breathing, which get doubled after exercise or carrying out strenuous activity. Mosquitoes sense a host once it perceives carbon dioxide.
3. Body odor
Does sweat drips from your skin uncontrollably? Do you bathe after the day's work?
Mosquitoes are attracted to your body's odor. The kind of odor being emitted from your body contributes to the ease with which mosquito bites you.
Different odorous compounds on the skin appeal to mosquitoes, examples are ammonia and lactic acid. Body odor is associated to your hereditary traits.
If mosquitoes bites you often it could be because you have body odor. And some body odours are linked to genetics. There is little to no solution to this except the use of repellants.
And taking a warm or cool bath is a step towards avoiding mosquitoes bite.
4. Alcohol
Do you know mosquitoes enjoy alcohol too? Studies conducted on some participants showed that mosquitoes sucked the blood of participants that drank 12-ounce beer more than when before.
There is a link between the consumption of alcohol and mosquitoes bites.
Research showed that mosquitoes feast on people who binge on alcohol more than people who do not drink alcohol in excess.
5. Blood type
Mosquitoes bite people who have blood type O and A more than people that have type B blood. Great percentage of people produce secretion that tells mosquitoes the kind of blood they have.

That's true, all that you've listed. The composition of the butyric acid in your sweat is also important whether or not it attracts many mosquitoes.
