According to this study, it's all in your genes.
on you, the truth of the matter is that in addition to late-afternoon barbecues, sunset sails, and early-morning plunges into pools, summer also calls for a dark bride:. And while the insects are commonly known to be hyperactive around dawn and dusk, Jonathan Day, professor of medical entomology at the University of Florida, admits there is a science behind some outdoor partygoers being more attractive to mosquitos than others.
Since their findings, Logan and his team have embarked on what will be a three-year study of identical twins in order to isolate which genes are attractive to these bugs and which are not, with the hope that you will one day be able to take a pill to repel mosquitos, he says. What is known now is that your habits, the food you eat, or the perfume you wear do not play as large a role in mosquito attraction as one may think.
A secondary zeroing in occurs in the form of lactic acid, which is the by-product of muscle firing, or exercising. Often people who work out regularly emit more lactic acid, as well as people who have higher metabolic rates. And someone with a higher resting heart rate produces more carbon dioxide and more lactic acid, attracting even more mosquitos, says Day.
Call it the Goldilocks effect, neither too much or too little of anything is good, but light clothes help—all the better to break out a crisp white summer sundress—as do repellants. Natural bug sprays, such as, feature ingredients like lemon and citronella that irritate mosquitos that come in contact with them, causing the bugs to leave before if not during a bite.
