Apparently, according to some research reported on in the NYTimes (which is why I *know* it's true)-- it's a scientific fact that some people are mosquito magnets.
The researchers hadn't narrowed it down to any particular characteristic-- but ( I hate to tell you) so far, it seems that mosquitos are very attracted to the odor of smelly socks-- or other odors like that.
Ahem. So I'm not sure where that leaves us mosquito magnets. ahem.
