Mosquitoes are an unfortunate part of summertime. These bugs fly around biting people in order to feed on their blood. Swatting them away is an instinctive reaction that could help you avoid being bitten.
Mosquitoes and Scent
Have you ever wondered why mosquitoes seem to target certain people more than others? Researchers have found that these bugs are drawn to certain scents that make them more likely to feed on specific individuals. Mosquitoes have a strong sense of smell that they also use to determine who is more likely to swat them away. Scientists have found that these mosquitoes might learn to avoid people who vigorously swat at them by remembering their scent.
