Dr. Alex Dainis explained that the study considered the differences between “strong attractors” — people who tend to get bitten more — and “weak attractors.”
Dr. Lindsey Zubritsky, a Mississippi-based dermatologist, seconded Dainis’ assertions.“The type and volume of a particular bacteria on the skin can increase the chance of mosquito bites,” Zubritsky told The Post.The American Chemical Society video also includes information from a study published in May in the journalThis research found butyric, isobutyric and isovaleric acids are among the most mosquito-friendly acids.
“This is just one person, so it’s just a hypothesis, but could eucalyptol in diets help keep mosquitoes away? Maybe,” Dainis mused.Dainis is not exactly sure if having eucalyptus in your diet can really make a difference.In addition to skin scents, there are a handful of other reasons why some people are more likely to get the itchy bites than others.
She continued, “Mosquitoes are also attracted to carbon dioxide, so those who expel more air and breathe harder are at risk. Other risk factors include pregnancy, genetics, and blood type .”Sometimes mosquito bites are simply unavoidable, but the good news is there are a few things in your control.She suggests covering exposed areas with long sleeves and pants — tucking in your shirt also provides extra protection.
