mosquito bait
Today I learned that mosquitoes like lactic acid, carbon dioxide, and warm people.
So if you've recently exercised, watch out: The combination of lactic acid (which builds up when muscles are exerted), sweat filled with carbon dioxide, and an increased temperature make you an ideal host.This could explain some things.

And then they recommend DEET. I'd rather be sucked dry than put that stuff on! Yikes.
I'm with you on the DEET. My niece had some on her shirt once when we were out in the woods (at least it wasn't on her skin), and I was trying to avoid her, but as an active little kid, she was like a stealth bomber.
