Mosquitoes are attracted by the carbon dioxide we exhale, dark-colored clothing, perfume, blood type( blood type O attracts more mosquitoes than others (A or B), body temperature (37 degrees Celsius or 98.6 degrees) and the presence of naturally occurring bacteria on the skin such as lactic acid. Pregnant women and overweight or obese people tend to have higher resting metabolic rates, which may make them more attractive to mosquitoes.
