Experts have discovered that mosquitoes love 4 kinds of people 專家發現蚊子偏愛這四種人

We all know someone (perhaps ourselves) who seems to be a favorite target for mosquitoes. For some mysterious reason, they attract these little critters like no one else.

我們都知道某人（或我們自己）似乎是蚊子最愛的目標，因為一些難以理解的原因，他們比任何人都還能吸引這些小生物。

It turns out that there’s a reason why they bite some people more than others. Health experts believe that mosquitoes are attracted to certain kinds of people. Here are the 4 factors that determine whether you may be one of them.

結果發現他們比起其他人更容易被蚊子叮是有原因的，健康專家相信蚊子會被特定種類的人吸引，以下的四個因素決定你是否為容易被叮的類型之一。

1.Pregnancy 懷孕

Mosquitoes are attracted to the carbon dioxide that people produce when they breathe. Pregnant women produce more carbon dioxide, which means that mosquitoes can pay special attention to them. It’s worth remembering this considering the extent to which the Zika virus currently presents a real threat to babies.

蚊子會被人類呼吸所製造的二氧化碳吸引，而懷孕的女性會產生更多的二氧化碳，這就表示蚊子會更加注意她們，考慮到現在茲卡病毒對嬰兒實際威脅的程度，這點非常值得一提。

2. Exercise 運動

You shouldn’t be surprised to find that mosquitoes will attack with particular aggression after you’ve finished a jog or some other kind of workout. They’re attracted to lactic acid, which is produced in large quantities in your muscles when the latter are subjected to physical strain.

你不應該為蚊子在你結束慢跑或一些其他運動後會更具攻擊性而感到驚訝，他們是被乳酸所吸引，乳酸是在肌肉受到身體壓力時大量產生。

3. Drinking alcohol 喝含酒精飲料

Experts have found that heat-producing drinks make us more attractive to mosquitoes. In particular, alcohol raises our body temperature and mosquitoes zero in on our warm bodies.

專家發現能產生熱量的飲料會使我們對蚊子來說更有吸引力，特別是酒精會使我們的體溫升高，蚊子就會瞄準我們溫暖的身體。

4. Type O blood O型血

Research indicates that the likelihood of a mosquito biting someone with type O blood is 83%. People with type A blood are least likely to be bitten by mosquitoes.

研究指出蚊子叮到O型血人的可能性為83%，A型血則最不容易被蚊子叮。

So if you find yourself in one of these risk groups, it might be time to stock up on mosquito repellent!

因此如果你發現自己有在這些高風險類別之一，最好趕快囤積一些驅蚊劑！
