According to Science World Report, a study shows that mosquitoes often prefer to suck blood from people with blood types A and O. Meanwhile, group B blood does not attract mosquitoes like the two blood groups above. India TV News further revealed that bacteria that cause skin to produce odors can also attract mosquitoes.

Human smells can also be a factor that makes people more susceptible to mosquito bites. Skin secretions can act as a mosquito repellent. Some natural compounds can attract or chase mosquitoes.

Choosing the color of your clothes also plays a role in attracting mosquitoes.

In another study, researchers found that beer drinkers tend to attract mosquitoes to attack more. But they have not explained why ethanol has attracted the mosquitoes.

Another factor of attracting mosquitoes is sweat . When you exercise a lot and sweat, your body releases carbon dioxide - a substance that is thought to be quite "charming" with mosquitoes.

Choosing the color of your clothes also plays a role in attracting mosquitoes. Dark colors are more attractive to mosquitoes. Bacteria in the legs and ankles also attract mosquitoes, which explains why you often get mosquito bites in these locations.

Scientists are currently studying products that contain natural chemicals that mosquitoes don't like. They can scare mosquitoes away from our bodies. They also recommend that people get screened when they sleep, children also have to stay away from places where mosquitoes gather, especially in dark places.
