Do mosquitoes love you?

June 20, 2020 8:52am CST
There were some mosquitoes bothering us last night. And that's why I needed to turn the fan on while we were sleeping to shoo away the mosquitoes. We couldn't sleep well because my husband got bitten by the mosquitoes. I helped him scratch his knee, ankle and toes. He's so desperate. I don't know why he could easily get bitten by the mosquitoes, while I didn't get bitten at all. I guess my husband is a type of person who is loved by mosquitoes. What about you?

I went for a walk in a nature park this morning that had a lot of water in it from recent flooding. There were lots of mosquitoes. I think I got bit by about 42,716 of them!

Mosquitoes love me too. I don't' know why they seem attracted to me. Is it the blood type? It's like between you and me, the mosquito would be gathered around me, bit me and not you.

@Miss_Leafy I have a mosquito repellant lotion. I always wear something long that covers my legs and arms if I have to stay outdoors.

@Miss_Leafy so how did the mosquitoes get in? maybe you can use a mosquito net if they have them in colombia? or research organic insect repellent since you're both vegan/vegetarian.

I know one person who gets so many bites from mosquitoes. It's in the blood in the person that attracts mosquitoes.

mosquitoes like certain blood more than others . I think your husband's blood tastes sweeter than yours

I have the same case with your husband. I feel like I'm a magnet of mosquitoes. In here we called that kind of people as some one with "sweet blood"
