Mosquitoes Love These 4 Types Of People
By Dreamer
There are four main groups of people that mosquitoes probably enjoy biting more than other people. Pregnant women tend to attract more mosquitoes than normal because they exhale more carbon dioxide, which mosquitoes are attracted to. This can be a problem, especially since the mosquito-borne Zika virus can cause birth defects if a pregnant woman is infected. People who exercise also may be more likely to be bitten, especially right after a workout, because mosquitoes are attracted to lactic acid. People who drink alcohol may be more bothered by mosquitoes than people who don’t. Alcohol raises body temperature, and mosquitoes tend to look for warmer bodies. People with Type O blood are the last group to have an increased risk of being bitten. They are 83 percent more likely to get bitten than people with other blood types.
If you fall into any of these categories, make sure you always have bug spray with you to prevent mosquito bites. Although everyone dislikes the insects, these four groups usually have the most trouble with them. Always try to avoid mosquitoes, especially during the warmer months of the year when they’re the most active.
