Mosquitoes don't like everybody's blood. email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 79/100. bhanusb (1695)4 months ago

We think mosquitoes suck every body's blood. But it's not true.If you are one of those people whom mosquitoes tend to favor,may be it's because you aren't sufficiently stressed-out. James Logan a researcher of Rothamasted says,'Mosquitoes fly through an aerial soup of chemicals,but can home on those that draw them to humans.' But when the combination human odors
is wrong he says,'the mosquito falls to recognize the signal of a potential blood meal.'

So if they skip a meal on me does that mean I am not stressed enough? whistle

This summer I have had only one bite and that is very unusual. I didn't put anything to stop them biting me but they somehow seem to have preferred others.

Oh, I'm not complaining and I shall try and stay stress free next year too lol


myLot reputation of 79/100. bhanusb (1695)  4 months ago

Keep you free from stress. I hope next summer you will get zero bite. Mosquitoes are friendly to you.


myLot reputation of 78/100. mysdianait (11992)  4 months ago

Unless they get too close I am friendly with them too.
But each year they are getting bigger and bigger -
they look like helicopters now! surrender

I had read that mosquitoes are attracted to some deodorants and after shave lotions. We used joke that mosquitoes prefer blood of people who eat plenty of sweets.
Lots of sweets= sweet blood lol


myLot reputation of 79/100. bhanusb (1695)  4 months ago

Do you not prefer sweet blood?

Those little pests eat me alive, and never touch my husband. He's very mellow and I'm high strung.


myLot reputation of 79/100. bhanusb (1695)  4 months ago

I think those are male mosquitoes.

We stop eating bananas around April and don't take them up again until the first hard freeze, The mosquitoes don't like us nearly as much as they use to.


myLot reputation of 79/100. bhanusb (1695)  4 months ago

You stopped eating bananas. Is it the cause that mosquitoes don't like you?


myLot reputation of 98/100. savypat (7632)  4 months ago

Yes eating bananas seems to put something in our blood that the mosquitoes really like, by not eating them we are not as tasty.

Ya its true that mosquitoes wont bite every one. The bite depending on the smell & that's the reason behind mosquito bite repellents currently available on the market which work on much the same principle.Some mosquito bite repellents are plant-based in odor, causing the mosquito to sense that the wearer is a plant and look elsewhere for food!! Also eating some food also cause the secretion of such a smell so that mosquitoes won't bite us.
Happy Lottinghappy

So you are saying that in this instance it is better to be stressed-out than stress-free? Well, I guess it is true that you can really find something positive in almost everything. I guess I shouldn't complain so much about being stressed now - lol!


myLot reputation of 79/100. bhanusb (1695)  3 months ago

I try to find out positive in almost every thing. Thanks.
