Some people smell good to mosquitoes.
Most people consider mosquitoes to be pests because they disturb our sleep with their buzzing sounds. These tiny insects can also be dangerous because they easily carry and spread diseases. Although people generally dislike mosquitoes, it appears that some people get bitten more often than others. Scientists have conducted many studies to find out why mosquitoes are attracted to certain people, and the results are interesting.
The primary factor that draws mosquitoes towards humans is carbon dioxide. Everyone produces carbon dioxide when they breathe, but larger people might produce more of it. This means mosquitoes might prefer to bite the biggest person in a group. Lactic acid is another favorite of mosquitoes. People produce lactic acid when they sweat. In order to prevent mosquito bites, wash off any sweat with soap and water and dry off thoroughly before going outside.
It is also essential to take a shower every day, especially for your feet. Studies have shown that mosquitoes like people with more bacteria on their feet. Also, avoid wearing dark colors when doing outdoor activities as mosquitoes use their eyes to target victims in dark clothing. If you have ever suspected that you are a mosquito magnet, these are some ways to help you stay unbitten.

有些人对于蚊子来说是美味大餐。
大多数人认为蚊子是害虫，因为它们的嗡嗡声会扰乱我们的睡 眠。这些微小的昆虫也很危险，因为它们很容易携带并传播疾病。虽 然人们普遍不喜欢蚊子，但似乎有些人比其他人更常被蚊子叮咬。科 学家们进行了许多研究来找出为什么蚊子会被特定的人吸引，而结果 很有趣。
吸引蚊子靠近人类的主要因素是二氧化碳。每个人呼吸时都会产 生二氧化碳，但体型较大的人可能会产生更多。这意味着蚊子可能更 喜欢叮咬团体中体型最大的人。乳酸也是蚊子的最爱。人流汗时会产 生乳酸。为了防止蚊子叮咬，外出前要用肥皂和水洗去汗水并彻底擦 干。
每天洗澡也很重要，尤其是洗脚。研究显示蚊子喜欢脚上细菌较 多的人。此外，在户外活动时避免穿深色衣服，因为蚊子会用眼睛瞄 准穿深色衣服的受害者。如果你曾经怀疑自己是吸蚊体质，这些方法 可以帮助你不被蚊子叮咬。
