BBC NEWS | Health | Why some people entice mosquitoes

There is no doubt that some people attact mosquitoes way more than others. I was on a canoe trip once with three other guys. One of them came out of it with his whole face a swollen mess. The bugs were bad, sure, but they all seemed to be biting this one fellow. If the discovery written about in this article leads to a new generation repellent, I hope that unlike deet, it doesn't melt plastic.
