Why do mosquitoes bite some people more than others? CWRU researchers explain
Fox 8: Gabriella Wolff, assistant professor of biology at the College of Arts and Sciences, explained that mosquitoes are drawn to people based on the ratio of chemicals in their skin and breath—not blood type. She also noted mosquitoes can learn preferred hosts and highlighted her CWRU lab's research using dragonfly sound frequencies as a potential non-chemical mosquito repellent.
