answer:Mosquitoes are attracted to five things: Carbon dioxide – mosquitoes are attracted to the carbon dioxide we exhale, both the scent and the amount. Body odor – Bacterial colonies combined with sweat generate that sweet (if you’re a mosquito) human scent we call body odor. Without the bacteria, our sweat would be odorless; with the bacteria, our sweat is one of the more attractive scents for mosquitoes, particularly the malaria-carrying Anopheles gambiae, which prefers to bite humans. • Secretions – About 80% of us are “secretors” or people who secrete compounds known as saccharides and antigens through their skin and indicate blood type. Mosquitoes are magnets for secretors. Once again, your classification as a secretor or non-secretor is determined by your biology and there isn’t anything you can do to put yourself in the non-secretor category. • Blood type – Depending on the type of blood you have, you secrete different scents. Studies have shown that mosquitoes are most attracted to Type O blood and least attracted to Type A. No changing your blood type either. • Lactic acid – Lactic acid is emitted through your skin when you are active or eating certain foods. Studies have suggested blood type (particularly type O), pregnancy and **** drinking all make you marginally more attractive to mosquitoes.
