Episode Details

Why do mosquitoes zero in on you? Female mosquitoes hunt by sensing your body heat, carbon dioxide, and unique body scent—shaped by genes and diet. Old tricks like garlic or vitamin B? Mostly myths. Beer? Might actually make you more attractive. Best defense? Physical barriers like screens or tents. Citronella candles? Not proven. And while annoying, mosquitoes matter—they’re part of ecosystems, feeding fish and dragonflies, and some species are surprisingly cool.
