Why does it seem as if mosquitoes find me more delectable than other people?

The bloodsuckers are drawn to a tasty dinner by a variety of signals, including heat, carbon dioxide, movement and the smell of skin secretions like lactic acid. One study even found that mosquitoes tend to prefer people who have recently downed a beer. No one knows the precise combination mosquitoes find the most irresistible, but if you seem to be their meal of choice, wear repellent and pass on the brew.

-Thanks to all the medical professionals who conducted this research and found the answer to a question so many of us ask.
