Comments by "BunzeeBear" (@bunzeebear2973) on "Why Mosquitoes Bite Some People More Than Others" video.
Mosquitoes have developed a trait to be smelling the odor its malarial parasite & respond to find you again as you were an acceptable host for the mosquito "needs to suck your blood" . So essentially the opposite of your supposition. You have been "tagged" as a food source. Humans have responded by squashing them dead...so they developed large hands and can run away. . what is smelling worse? To our noses, if you do not bathe for 2 weeks, then to another human you stink. Mosquitoes find you whether you have on perfumed soap or are super clean...or are super stinky. They don't care about B.O. . The test was not official because it is a male and a female test subject. The hormones are different. Blood types are different and that was not checked or mentioned. Your diet and body fat content. etc. This test needs to be performed with other males of say the Chinese(they eat lots of garlic) & East Indian (curry spice) compared to N.A. diet of beer and nuts & burgers. Of course neither of the subject can have had malaria nor a malaria vaccine. So that is a big test requiring some 20-30 people (double that if you also want to do females as a separate test group) No mosquitoes were hurt during the shooting of the production.(DISCLAIMER)
