Mosquitoes do have a preference when it comes to who they bite. Everything from blood type to body temperature to pregnancy plays a role.

more than others.
Exercising Exercising is the answer to many different
health problems, but in this case, it may be the cause of your problem.
When we exercise, we produce lactic acid, an organic compound that mosquitoes are attracted
to.
Not bathing regularly This one may not be news, but it's not for
the reason you think.
Mosquitoes are attracted to sweat because it smells good to them.
Malaria-carrying mosquitoes love it even more.
Some sweet perfumes and scents found in bath gels can have the same effect.
Pregnancy Mosquitoes like carbon dioxide, a gas we
exhale constantly.
But pregnant women exhale higher levels of it, making them more susceptible to mosquito
bites.
Drinking alcohol Just like pregnant women, we exhale higher
levels of carbon dioxide when we drink, because the alcohol speeds up our metabolism.
Wearing dark clothes Lots of people believe that this one is a
myth, but there is some truth to this saying.
Mosquitoes have very sensitive heat sensors, which are triggered by black clothes, since
they absorb more heat.
Type O blood Even blood types affect whether or not mosquitoes
will bite you.
A study performed in a controlled environment showed that mosquitoes are twice as attracted
to people with type O blood than people with type A blood.
Mosquitoes can tell due to a chemical we secrete.
