I only get bitten in Montana. My sister is from Java and she lives there and doesn't get bitten. When we went back to Indonesia a couple months ago she got eaten alive and I watched two mosquitoes bite me and die. So funny how our chemical makeups are so wildly different.

Your blood is poison to matin' bitches. Haha
My wife must be extra tasty. I might get one bite for every 20 she gets. I also rarely react to any mosquito bite. Just a small bump if anything.
They also identify compounds in human sweat that increase biting behavior in mosquitoes as well as bitter compounds that suppress egg-laying and feeding behaviors...
Is that how anti-malarials like quinine work?
Who wants a g&t?
Empirical studies show that yes, yes I am.
