Anecdotally and IMO, I am definitely a mosquito magnet! Always have been and I'm sure I always will be. Not so anecdotally: I get massive reactions from bites that last a long time (sometimes months). For example: In my 20's I once went canoeing on the Russian river and drank all day. Since it was a hot day, I was pretty burnt out when my GF and I got back to our camp site late in the afternoon. Our site was probably about 200 yds from the river's edge and when we got back I pulled a sleeping bag out of the tent and laid down on it on the grass. I pretty much immediately fell asleep (drinking, heat) on top of the sleeping bag. I woke up a couple hours later after the sun had just set. I was covered in bites. For the next week or so I tried to count the bites and ended up settling on 107 mosquito bites! It took over 3 months for them to go away! Needless to say, I will never forget that experience and no one will convince me otherwise that I am not a mosquito magnet.
