The little known fact about mosquito bites...

Why is it some people are mosquito magnets while others never seem to get bit at all? The theories are endless about what attracts mosquitos...some of them proven and others just a myth.

But if you're one of those people that thinks mosquitos hate you because you NEVER get bit...well you might be wrong.

The red, itchy bumps that people get from mosquitos are an allergic reaction. While most people have some sort of reaction, every so often you will find someone that doesn't react at all to mosquito bites. These people may THINK they don't attract mosquitos, but the reality is they just don't know they are being bitten.

The danger is that people that assume they don't attract mosquitos may not take necessary precautions to avoid mosquito bites. It's important to remember that the problem with mosquitos is not just the annoying reactions from bites, but also the dangerous diseases they can carry.

Whether you think mosquitos like you or not, you should always take precautions to minimize bites!
