There are so many anecdotes relating to why mosquitoes bite one person over another. It's a wonder that they would be attracted to scent. How would scent connect with blood? Do different scents indicate different blood types in terms of how good it is for the Mosquito?
Mosquitoes love gq, but they hardly bother with me. There have been times where I would only have to swat the occassional one away, and there was a visible cloud around her. It's very obvious.
I guess one form of repellant is to travel with a person that mosquitoes prefer. :/

Is there any truth to the "thin" or "thick" skin theory as to whom they pick. This happens with my wife too. We can go for a walk and she'll come back with 10 bites and I'll have none.
