Mosquito Attraction: The terror of mosquitoes increases during the rainy season, but have you ever noticed that among the people sitting at one place, mosquitoes bite only a few people more? There are not just luck behind this, but many scientific reasons related to the body. Let us know the reasons due to which some people become more attractive to mosquitoes.

people emitting more carbon dioxide
Mosquitoes can sense the carbon dioxide (CO₂) emitted from our breath from a distance. People who exhale a lot of CO₂, including those who are tall or after a heavy workout, may be more attracted to mosquitoes.
Body temperature and sweat are also the reason
If the body temperature is high or you sweat more, the chances of mosquito bites may increase. Therefore, mosquitoes can become more troublesome immediately after exercise or if you are outside in hot weather.
Blood group and pregnancy can also have an impact
Some research has found that mosquitoes may be more attracted to people with O blood group. At the same time, due to slightly higher body temperature and carbon dioxide emissions in pregnant women, they may also be bitten by mosquitoes more often. However, research on this topic is still ongoing.
