Some people are real mosquito magnets. Why do some people seem to attract bloodthirsty mosquitoes from all over the neighborhood, while others can sit outside all evening without suffering a bite? These lucky people give off just the right combination of sights and smells. Mosquitoes use their senses to choose a favorite target in the crowd. Here are 10 ways to guarantee yourself lots of mosquito bites.

    1. Keep breathing.

    Mosquitoes detect carbon dioxide in the air, so the more you breathe, the more likely you are to become a blood meal. Carbon dioxide clues the mosquitoes in to the presence of a living, breathing, blood-pumping animal nearby. Once they sense it, mosquitoes usually fly in a zigzag pattern through the CO2 plume until they locate the source.

    2. Skip the shower.

    That's right, bring on the B.O. The more you stink, the easier it is for a blood-seeking mosquito to find you. Drop the deodorant, skip the soap, and get ready to start slapping skeeters.

    3. Run around.

    Mosquitoes first locate potential victims using their sight, and anything moving will be deemed worthy of a second look. Go outside and flag them down. Mow the lawn. Take a jog around the block. Jump up and down and shout "pick me, pick me!" The mosquitoes will pick you, for sure.

    4. Sweat a lot.

    Perspiration is the perfect combination of mosquito attractants – moisture and odors. Head outdoors on a hot, sticky summer evening, and work up a sweat. The mosquitoes will thank you.

    5. Stay warm.

    Think of mosquitoes as heat-seeking missiles. The warmer you are, the quicker they'll find you. Though mosquitoes can't sense your body heat from a distance, once they get within a few yards, your warmth will lure them in.

    6. Dress in dark colors.

    Research shows that mosquitoes respond best to dark colors, especially blue. Put away the khakis and white shirt; instead, don your jeans and a black t-shirt. You'll shine a spotlight on yourself that allows the mosquitoes to come in for a quicker landing.

    7. Wear perfume or cologne.

    If you just can't bear the body odor approach, do the opposite – bathe yourself in the strongest perfume money can buy. Floral scents are especially attractive to mosquitoes.

    8. Use alpha hydroxy products on your skin.

    Lactic acid, which our bodies produce naturally, is a big draw for mosquitoes. It just so happens that many skin care products contain lactic acid, too, and so might help boost your chemistry with these blood-seeking bugs. Look for lotions and creams labeled "alpha hydroxy," which provide the most lactic acid.

    9. Don't change your socks.

    Yes, this is based on actual scientific research. Mosquitoes love smelly feet. Entomologist Daniel L. Kline experimented with using dirty socks as a mosquito lure, and found his 3-day-old socks were irresistible to them. Specifically, it's the bacteria that grow on human feet that seems to draw a crowd.

    10. Drink beer and eat limburger cheese.

    Studies show people who've had a few beers score the most mosquito bites at the barbecue. Snack on some limburger cheese while enjoying a beer, and you will open yourself up to an all out assault. Limburger cheese is made with the same bacteria that makes your feet stink.

    有些人真的很招蚊子，為什么這些人夜夜被這些嗜血蟲子騷擾個不停而其他人卻能在外安坐整晚？原因就是他們身上散發(fā)出的氣息正是蚊子所喜愛的，蚊子通常會利用自己的感官在人群中選擇最愛攻擊的目標。為何你會這么招蚊子，下文的10條原因則會對此作出詳細的解釋：

    1.不停地呼吸

    蚊子會在空氣中探測二氧化碳，你呼吸的頻率越高，就越可能成為被攻擊的目標。因為二氧化碳會引領(lǐng)蚊子找到附近有生命氣息有血液的生物，一旦他們探測到氣息，通常會以之字路線飛行，借由二氧化碳的幫助尋找到目標。

    2.不勤洗澡

    對了，不勤洗澡就會導致身上散發(fā)出臭味，你身上的味道越糟糕，就越容易成為這種嗜血小蟲的攻擊目標。如果弄丟了除臭劑，又沒肥皂的話，那就準備騰出手來打蚊子吧！

    3.跑個不停

    蚊子首先會通過觀測定位潛在目標，任何移動的生物都有可能成為攻擊對象。走出大門，引出蚊子，除草、圍著小區(qū)跑一圈或是上躥下跳的叫著"叮我，叮我��！"絕對會讓你成為蚊子們的攻擊目標。

    4.流汗

    汗液是蚊子吸引劑潮濕和氣味的完美結(jié)合。如果在悶熱的夏夜跑出去溜達又弄出了一身臭汗，這些嗜血小蟲一定會感激你的！

    5.體熱

    蚊子如同熱追蹤導彈一般，你身上越暖和，就越容易被它們找到。雖然你身處遠處，它們無法感知到你的體溫，然而一旦你走近，它們就會在幾碼內(nèi)感應(yīng)到你身上的熱度并蜂擁而至。

    6.著深色服裝

    研究表明蚊子對于深色的東西特別敏感，尤其是藍色。如果你放棄卡其褲子和白襯衫，穿上了牛仔褲和黑T恤，那么就等于你給自己打上了聚光燈并告訴這些小蟲你就是最佳目標。

    7.搽香水和古龍水

    如果你不能忍受自己身上的味道，那就把自己浸在錢能買到的氣味最強烈的香水中吧，香水中的花香成分可是極其吸引蚊子的喲！

    8.使用果酸護膚品

    我們身體自然而然產(chǎn)生的物質(zhì)乳酸對蚊子具有極大的吸引力。現(xiàn)在很多的護膚產(chǎn)品或多或少的都含有乳酸，因此也增加了對這些嗜血蟲子的吸引力。你可以看下身邊標著含有果酸的乳液和面霜，這些化妝品中含有的乳酸成分是最高的。

    9.不勤換襪子

    沒錯，科學研究表明蚊子喜歡臭腳！昆蟲學家丹尼爾。L.克蘭曾做過這樣的實驗，用臭襪子做誘餌吸引蚊子，結(jié)果發(fā)現(xiàn)穿了三天的臭襪子對這些小蟲有無法抵擋的吸引力。具體來說就是人腳上產(chǎn)生的細菌吸引了這些小蟲。

    10.喝啤酒吃林堡干酪

    研究表明燒烤上喝了啤酒的人被蚊子叮的最厲害。如果在享受啤酒的同時又吃了些林堡干酪，那么你就等著被蚊子們?nèi)浩鸲�攻之吧！因為制作林堡干酪的物質(zhì)和使你腳臭的物質(zhì)是一樣的！
