Episode Details

Why do some people feel like walking mosquito magnets in summer? Science says it’s real — a third of Brits believe bugs are zeroing in on them, and researchers now know why: certain folks naturally emit more carboxylic acids, combined with body heat and CO2, making them prime targets. This isn’t just annoyance — it’s reshaping summer habits, from staying indoors to wearing full coverage. While you can’t change your chemistry, repellent and ditching strong scents help. Next time you’re swatting more than your share, remember: it’s not your fault — it’s biology.
