Why You’re a Mosquito Magnet | Detroit News
Description
Why do some people get bitten more than others? Science says it’s not luck—it’s biology. Mosquitoes zero in on adults, warmer bodies, and certain scents you can’t control. Even one beer makes you a bigger target. Heavy breathers, pregnant folks, or sweaty gym-goers? You’re basically a beacon. But there’s hope: DEET-based repellent (20-30%), long sleeves, light colors, and maybe even your blood type (Type O may be more appealing) all play a role. Stay protected—even after Michigan’s frost, bugs are still out there.
