Mosquitoes Have Their Favorites. Skin Odor, Genes, and Breathing Are the Deciding Factors.

Summary by Deník.cz
Some people get dozens of itchy bites on a summer evening, while others get away without a single one. It's not because of sweet blood, but because of a combination of factors, including the amount of air exhaled, body heat, and, above all, the specific smell of the skin. This is partly hereditary and unique to each person.
