Why are some people mosquito magnets?

Posted by gardenergirl on August 6, 2007, at 15:19:00

I'm one. I go outside with the dog for five minutes and come back in with two or three bites. Forget it if I'm out for more than 20 minutes. My husband, on the other hand, seldom gets bit, and of course hardly itches if he does.

Why me? Do I smell funny? Is it my fair skin attracting bugs like a beacon? (seriously, you have to wear shades to cut the glare when looking at me if my legs are bare) ;) I read something about carbon dioxide attracting mosquitoes. Do I exhale more often or more CO2? What's the deal? It's seriously annoying.
