Do mosquitoes like you?

From University of Maryland professor Michael Raupp:

…the human body will give off more than 100 different volatile odors, and we know it’s that unique blend of compounds that will make one person highly attractive, another person not.

My wife is an attractor, I am not. So whenever I go outdoors at dusk, I always take my wife with me.

The interview was on All Things Considered yesterday. Interesting stuff about what works and what does in regard to repellents.
