981. Why do Mosquitoes only bite some people?
Mosquitoes have a powerful sense of smell and are attracted to chemicals we release from our bodies. One of them is carbon dioxide, and both women and larger people tend to breathe out more of this gas. The more that’s breathed out, the easier it is for mosquitoes to find you. Also, mosquitoes like some chemicals more than others.
