Mosquito bite reasons explained : Have you ever noticed that one person in a group ends up covered in mosquito bites while everyone else walks away untouched? It might seem like bad luck, but scientists say there are real biological reasons behind it.
Research suggests mosquitoes don't choose their targets randomly. Long before they land, they detect signals from the human body, including the carbon dioxide we breathe out, our body heat and even our unique skin scent, as per a report. Together, these clues help mosquitoes decide who is most likely to end up on their menu.
