Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz! We all witness the terror of mosquitos, but you might have noticed that some people are bitten by mosquitos more as compared to others. We commonly call them ‘sweet blooded’ but according to research these people are known as “mosquito magnets”.

It has been found that people who attract mosquitos the most actually release some amount of chemical from their skin and due to the smell, mosquitos tend to get more attracted to them.

A neurobiologist at Rockefeller University in New York, says that people who release too much of the chemical from their skin, are more prone to be bitten by mosquitos. So, if you think you are a mosquito magnet, take all precautions before falling prey to mosquitos.
