I have read that to the mosquito some people’s sweat simply smells better than others because of the proportions of the compounds that make up the body odour. Are you on of those people?

Not me. But when my husband and I are outside, those evil beasts always choose to bite me while he remains bug free.

I notice you spell 'odour' with a 'u.' Are you in the U.K.?

Coming direct from your friend Wiki "There are both immediate hypersensitivity reactions (Types I & III) and delayed hypersensitivity reactions (Type IV) to mosquito bites"

I am type 1 (I) myself and I have heard all sorts of stories, the "sweet blood" is the one I have heard most though. I have no idea how someone can out rank another when it comes to these things, but I am one that ends up being bit more times than not.

I feel like a mosquito smorgasboard if I don't use some type of repellent. I like the new Off clip on because I don't have to apply it directly to my skin.

I do attract mosquitoes as well, it seem as if the summer does bring mosquitoes as in the recent weeks I have been bitten over and over, my skin is a bit bumpy now.
