七大因素揭示为什么你总招蚊子

These 7 things make mosquitoes bite you more

Does it seem like mosquitoes search you out specifically, maniacally biting you just to make you miserable?

你是不是发现自己特别招蚊子,经常被蚊子咬得很惨?

Blame your genes.

怪你的基因吧.

And your smelly feet.

还有你的臭脚.

Basically, mosquitoes choose their prey (you) based on a whole bunch of factors.

基本上,蚊子对你下口是基于一连串因素的.

Many myths exist; for example, the idea that eating bananas can repel the bugs doesn't hold up.

关于这方面有许多谣言,比如吃香蕉能驱蚊,这种想法是没有依据的.

But scientific research has found evidence supporting several reasons why mosquitoes may seek you out, though these studies are often on different kinds of mosquitoes, so the actual things attracting them to you may vary depending on which species are nearby.

然而,科学研究已经发现了一些原因和相关证据,能解释你为什么招蚊子,不过这些研究的观察对象通常是不同种类的蚊子,所以你招蚊子的实际因素可能也随你附近的蚊子种类而异.

Still, there's good news: Some of the things that might make you especially attractive to mosquitoes are things you can actually change.

好消息是:有些东西会让你特别招蚊子,而你可以做出改变从而远离蚊子.

Since — depending on the type of mosquitoes in your area — these little flying beasts can transmit deadly diseases like Zika, malaria, yellow fever, dengue, Chikungunya, and West Nile, it would be wise to try to reduce your allure as much as you can.
