It has been found that people who attract mosquitos the most actually release some amount of chemical from their skin and due to the smell, mosquitos tend to get more attracted to them.

A neurobiologist at Rockefeller University in New York, says that people who release too much of the chemical from their skin, are more prone to be bitten by mosquitos. So, if you think you are a mosquito magnet, take all precautions before falling prey to mosquitos.
