Why mosquitoes LOVE you

Are you a mosquito magnet?

Here’s some reasons why, according to Verywell Health:

You just exercised Exercising raises your body temperature and produces more carbon dioxide and lactic acid, which mosquitos love.

You haven’t showered They’re attracted to a specific type of bacteria and we tend to have more bacteria near our ankles and feet, which is why they target those areas.

You’re wearing dark clothing Reds, blacks and blues attract more mosquitoes than lighter colors like white and yellow.

You’re drinking alcohol Alcohol dilates the blood vessels in your skin, making it warmer for a while and they’re also attracted to the ethanol that comes out in your sweat.

Then again…maybe you’re just the sweetest thing around! 🥰
