Who and when gets most mosquito bites

Mosquitos choose "victims" based on their blood type, skin bacteria, as well as their physical activity - more active persons have higher body temperature, which makes them a target for these boring flying creatures.
In order not to become a target for these bloodsuckers, it is not a bad idea to stay home at sunset and early in the morning, when mosquitos bite the most. At that time, air humidity is higher and temperature is lower, which make up a perfect setting for these small pests. Also, it is proven that mosquitos are attracted by dark colors - black, dark blue or red clothing makes it easier for these insects to "locate" you, claims entomologist James Day. Therefore, always wear garments of lighter colors in the summer.
Speaking of what attracts mosquitos... bear in mind that your perfume entices not only persons of the opposite sex, but also mosquitos, especially if it's flower-scented.
Another thing you should avoid if you don't want mosquitos to bite you is - beer. Studies show that mosquitos "like" beer, that is, they bite those drinking beer more often because it increases body temperature.
