Did you ever wonder WHY some people get MORE bug 🦟 bites than others?

Nope, it's NOT your "blood type" or because you have "sweet blood."

Instead: It's got to do with your gut bacteria!

Certain species of mosquitoes actually prefer feeding on humans & show preferences between people...depending on your SKIN MICROBIOTA!

Your skin microbiota is an extension of your "gut microbiome" and is home to over 1000 different species of bacteria.

According to studies (Takken & Verhulst, 2017) our skin microbiome produces several "volatile compounds" that determines if mosquitos attack you!

Also, the LESS 👎 DIVERSE your skin microbiome, the MORE LIKELY you are to be "bug bait" too.

Sweat from people who have MORE diverse skin microbiomes is much less attractive to mosquitos than that from those with less diverse bacterial ecosystems.

Lastly, mosquitoes are attracted to ethanol that your body gives off AFTER you've been 🍷🍺🍾 drinking...eating sugary 🧁 ,dairy 🥛 starchy 🍚 salty 🍟 foods...or using AHA(Alpha Hydroxy Acid) skin products, due to the lactic acid they contain!
