Lactic acid and ammonia are compounds favored by mosquitoes. If our skin contains these compounds on the skin, then don’t be surprised when we are often the target of mosquitoes.
Well, this can also be inherited by genetic factors, if our body smells the same as the scent that mosquitoes often bite, for example our family, then we are very likely to be the target of mosquito bites.
3. High Carbon Dioxide Level

We emit CO2 (carbon dioxide) when we breathe, the levels will increase when we do a lot of activities, such as exercising. Mosquitoes look for prey through CO2, so if we are people who have high carbon dioxide levels by doing various activities, then don’t be surprised if you fall prey to mosquito bites.
Well, usually people who have high carbon dioxide levels with a warm body temperature are pregnant women. Therefore, pregnant women must be aware of our condition in the middle of this pandemic.
4. Dark Color

Alcoholics need to be aware of this because mosquitoes are very attracted to people who consume alcoholic beverages. Even drinking one glass of beer can attract mosquitoes to make us a target for their bites.
In addition to the five reasons above, if we are ever or even frequently bitten by mosquitoes, then we will continue to be the target of mosquito bites. This is because mosquitoes remember and recognize the scent of the host they have bitten.
From these five reasons, we can conclude that it turns out that mosquitoes are picky prey to be bitten. Well, Beauties, if we have one of the above reasons and are often the target of mosquito bites, then we should be wary. Do not let the dengue mosquito that stalks us as a target for its bite.
