See Reasons why Mosquitos like to chow down on your skin than your bedmate.
Its sometimes annoying when you see a friend or relation sleeping peacefully by your bedside, while you busy clapping, not for joy but to kill these little creatures unfortunately created.
Mosquito bites are often the bane of a foreign holiday, and those who are common fodder for the insects will know how horrid it can be.
But despite the oft-heard cry - "why do they always bite me?" - your biting potential isn't down to your blood, or perfume, or whatever other reasons you may think.
It's actually down to the types of bacteria that exist on your skin.
According to scientists, some bacteria secrete chemicals that have better smells than others, which means mossies are more likely to want to chow down on you.
Other factors the winged predators find hard to resist include carbon dioxide in our breath and the heat of our bodies.
