Oh, in case u haven't noticed, i changed blog skin! Looks like my previous one before the strawberries... But this one allows paragraphs! Yay!
Some totally useless facts i got off
Joyce's blog about why mosquitoes love some people more than others!
- Mosquitoes are attracted to dark clothing, fragrance and scents. (So always wear white and make sure you don't drown yourself in perfume like SOME PEOPLE like to do.)
-Eating vitamin B1 keeps the moskies away. (Who knew that vit B is the new vit C??)
- Eating bananas however, attract them.
- Contrary to my belief, moskies do NOT prefer certain human blood types over the rest, but they do prefer certain animals over others.
- Mosquitoes are attracted to carbon dioxide, which means that people with higher metabolic rate get bitten more cuz they give out more CO2. Ditto for bigger people, eg. adults generally and pregnant women
- Genetics account for 85% of mosky bites. (Blame your parents.)
- Moskies target people with a lot of cholestrol, steroids on the skin surface or give out excess acid. (Basically, unhealthy people.)
Considering the amount of bananas i ate, no wonder i have all these mosquito bite scars on my legs! :(
