Why mosquitoes love me so much? Please note I 'm not stinky and I never wear perfume while camping!!!?

Mosquitos are attracted to many things that we, as mammals, produce on a regular basis. This includes lactic acid that is produced by the skin and carbon dioxide that we exhale with each breath. Both of these compounds are detectible by mosquitos at levels far lower than those that we can smell, and at a far greater distance. However, these are not the only compounds that mosquitos can detect - in fact, some species mosquitos do not even detect these two chemicals, but can 'smell' up to 340 different other chemicals present in our bodies.





In short, there's not much you can do to prevent mosquitos from liking your scent. Changing your diet may have effects, but it is difficult to say which foods would increase or decrease your susceptability. Scent-based repellants would be your only answer in practicality.Why mosquitoes love me so much? Please note I 'm not stinky and I never wear perfume while camping!!!?
The mosquitoes are also attracted to what u eat. So if u eat something sweet like a banana then they will be attracted to you even more.Why mosquitoes love me so much? Please note I 'm not stinky and I never wear perfume while camping!!!?
Your wearing ';your'; perfume your natural oder is what attracts them my husbands the same way they always bite him i hardly ever get bit.
don't wear dark clothes. or maybe it's light colored clothes?
Mosquitos love you because you're food to them.





Try a sunscreen that also has repellent.





Also try taking a vitamin - B or multivitamin that has B complex in it. The B vitamins that make your urine extra yellow also change your scent and make you less appealing to the buggers. I had read this in a magazine once, and realized that was probably the reason why I wasn't getting bit as much anymore.
I've heard that it sometimes depends on what you eat or drink.Like if you drink sugary sodas or eat sweets even fruit,can sometimes attract mosquitoes.
Among other things, mosquitoes are attracted to heat and carbon-dioxide (what you exhale). You could be unusually warm and/or have the ';perfect'; exhale concoction that mosquitoes just love?
Do you sweat a great deal? Or are you light skinned? Because they are attracted to fair to light skinned people.
We are just unlucky.... (I'm the same way).........I can be in a crowd..........and those suckers will pick ME.. to bite.......





I use alot of ';OFF'; while outside or camping, fishing, etc...........
It's true that the chemical composition of some people's sweat and skin oils does attract more mosquitos. Some scientists believe that lactic acid is an attractor, some propose that Vitamin B in human sweat is a repellant, some say garlic in human sweat works to deter them too. Certain skin care products may also serve as attractors, whether or not they are scented, for example petroleum-based products are believed to be attractors.





So.... have you been skipping your vitamins and/or using Vaseline type products? That could be making a difference.
First only female mosquitos bite...they need blood to incubate their eggs.


It's isn't sweating that attracts the little blood suckers, it is carbon


dioxide you breathe out that attracts them. Perfumes don't attract them either.
You have blood don't you?
It's not cologne that attracts mosquitoes, but rather the carbon dioxide that you exhale while breathing.


Some folks CO2 is just better than others I guess!
you eat salt and sugar and mosquitoes love that ...your body Sucrets it in sweat...
Honnestly you should wear perfume while camping because they like your smell...thats what mosquitoes are attracted to the most if you wear perfume it masks your smell and should actually keep them away from you...I went on a hike with my cousin and my sister and I was the only one to come back with bites...not only was I the lightest skinned person in the group (which may have something to do with it) but I know I was the one who was sweating the most.
I don't know for sure, but I know that I'm also a mosquito magnet. I've been told that it has something to do with the blood vessels being closer to the skin than other people. I've also heard that certain electrolytes have an impact on how mosquito's find their prey (so to speak). This evening, I was outside and mosquito's were practically swarming me, while my boyfriend didn't notice any...I do believe it has to do with your circulation and blood being near the surface of the skin. So, they ';smell'; us better than other people. I also bruise easily, so this explanation makes sense. Wear deet containing repellents and good luck. :-)
Do you have O+ blood? I read somewhere that misquitoes have a taste for that. I believe it because thats the blood type I have and they make a feast of me when ever I go out. I have friends that get close to me because they know I am more likely to get bit than they are.





You do produce oders that atract miquitoes even though you annot smell them yourself. CO2 also attracts them.
I don't know but they reallly like me to.
Me, too! Whenever I'm out walking at night with my family, I'm the only one that seems to get bitten. Maybe it's our sweat and stuff in it that attracts those pesky buggers.





My mom says that they like me and are kissing me lol.
I heard that an access of Potassium (like bananas) in the blood atracts more and so does sweat. But even just the smallest amount of garlic in your diet will help keep them away.
my daughter has the same problem...try avon skin-so-soft when camping. get the spray bottle and apply
I remember when I used to visit my brother. Everybody in his family got multiple mosquito bites while I got none.


The difference between me and him, his wife and sons was that I took B Vitamins, watched my diet better (less sugar %26amp; fatty foods) and was in better shape.


He would laugh when one would hover around my arm. Then I'd point out to him that it wouldn't even land on my arm. Not sure why, saw on one site where they smell MTB (more than blood).


Could be sweat or what's in the sweat. Do know overweight people sweat easier.

What would a man think if a woman sent him a note with perfume in it?

iam sure he'll loved it believe me they just smelling us even if we are not near them!!What would a man think if a woman sent him a note with perfume in it?
that she must have knocked her bottle over by mistake, LOL!





no, I guess I'd think that she wanted to know whether I like the perfume or not....but never having received such a letter I wouldn't really know, sorry.What would a man think if a woman sent him a note with perfume in it?
Sounds cute, but make sure the perfume smells good. It also depends on how well you know the person.
This smells good

Romantic perfume note?

Name of the perfume that i've got for my hubby's birthday who is abroad is ';Love Story.';


So how would this note go with it?


';Let this perfume sprinkle fragrance in our beautiful love story.';





Well, is it grammatically write? B'cause Im not sure whether both ';perfume'; and ';fragrance'; can come in this note.


Also is it romantic? Quite sure it is. lolRomantic perfume note?
it's fine.. but write should be right. and B'cause should be because.





but rather than your little blurb, I think it would be even better if you wrote an actual note from your heart.. could even be a little racy. If he's abroad, i think it might have more of an impact. Because, really at this distance, the fragrance isn't going to have any impact on your ';love story';.


Romantic perfume note?
perfume might be to girlie for a guy maybe you should try





';Let this cologne sprinkle fragrance ON our beautiful love story';
I would put ';Let this perfume sprinkle its fragrance into our beautiful love story:';
i think that sprinkle isnt the right word. you could avoid the perfume/fragrance thing with ';Let this add fragrance to our beautiful love story';


or something like that
well perfume is probably most romantic when it is given as a gift.
You are not being grammatically right (correct). What?
5
if you could find a better word than fragrance, maybe it could work better.

Have you tried Vanilla Noir from BBW? It is a stronger vanilla, more mature smelling. Not as sweet, more of a dark vanilla.





I use the EDT Black Raspberry Vanilla from BBW and love it.





I have lots of friends who swear by The Body Shop's vanilla scent. Its not as sweet as WVS.





Good luck! :)Nice perfume with vanilla notes?

In a perfume description, what do the top, middle, and base notes refer to?

Are they the strength of the components of the scent?In a perfume description, what do the top, middle, and base notes refer to?
Top, middle, and base notes are determined by how long the notes last. Citrus will be lovely and bright but will come off very quickly, so they are top notes. Middle notes are also called heart notes and they are the 'heart' of the perfume. Florals are typically middle notes. Base notes will provide the base of the other notes and will outlast all the other notes of the perfume. Base notes are usually deep, woody, resinous or musky.

i don't use it often though.


expensiveeee.Who knows what is in the twilight perfume? like what kind of notes are in it?
Taste forbidden fruit and smell irresistible. This perfume comes in a collectible apple-shaped glass bottle and smells of lavender and freesia, just like Bella
If you go to Hot Topic, they usually have it there so you can smell the box and it actually smells like it.





I found it, it's lavendar and fresia. It's supposed to be Bella's scent, but hers was Strawberrys and freesia. It was made by Sarah Jessica Parker.





I've smelled it, it smells realllly good.
Are you serious? Twilight perfume? Lmao.





That doesn't even make sense. Twilight doesn't have a scent. Unless it is supposed to be after Bella, then you'll smell like an average teenager, or maybe a dead corpse like Edward.





Don't waste your money.
I actually heard that it smells really bad.

What is the meaning of the base notes, middle notes and top notes in perfume making?

Perfume designers describe their creations in terms of notes: base, middle and top. There is a lot of confllicting info about how to create and balance these notes, and how they appeal to our noses, and what they really mean. It would be great to hear a good professional answer. I wanna add that I am not interested in jokes on this subject.What is the meaning of the base notes, middle notes and top notes in perfume making?
Top notes would be the scent that would evaporate first and the fastest. The top notes are usually the scent you smell when you first spray the perfume. After it evaporates is when you smell the middle notes. The middle notes is the main body of the perfume and what you smell the most of the perfume. The base notes is what helps hold the top and middle notes. The main smell of a perfume would be the middle and base notes.
