Every friendship group has that one individual who is covered in bites on trips away – while others escape without a single one. So why are some people more desirable to these insects than others? 🦟
Whether you’re relaxing on a stunning beach in Portugal, exploring beautiful old towns in Greece, or cycling through the wine regions in France, a summer holiday should be a joyful experience.And to make matters worse, it seems the pesky insects tend to like a certain type of person.
, explains that around 20% of the population are more susceptible to getting bitten more by insects – and this is actually down to a number of factors.‘Firstly, blood type can play a small part,’ explains Dr Ross. Experts stress that around 80% of people secrete a signal revealing which blood type they are, and this draws the mosquitoes in.‘Insects tend to be more attracted to dark colours – which are easier for them to spot, whereas light colours tend to blend in,’ explains Dr Ross.
‘When exercising we produce more carbon dioxide which is again likely to alert mosquitoes to a host.’This is also important as mosquitoes are also more attracted to the smell of bacteria and sweat.
