A friend of ours is a biology major and was able to shed some light to my Hubby about why mosquitoes seem to bite certain people more. Apparently if you have a lot of stress in your life, your blood smells differently than people who have a low-stress life. Stressed out blood smells sour to them and low-stress blood is sweeter and thus more attractive to the little blood-suckers.
This makes perfect sense because Hubby NEVER gets bit and the minute I step outside I am attacked by swarms of mosquitoes. So it's not a medical test, but you can judge the amount of stress in your life by your ability to attract mosquitoes. Pretty neat!
