I always wonder, is it that some people don't get bitten or that some people don't react to getting bitten?

I always wonder, is it that some people don't get bitten or that some people don't react to getting bitten?
- kkylin 2y agoPossibly both. I've certainly observed mosquitos biting people who say they don't get bitten -- they just don't notice, which may not be a good thing.
- pests 2y agoThe latter for me absolutely. Mosquitoes have never left any kind of mark or bump or bite on my skin. I can sometimes feel them biting (injecting? whatever) and I smack/brush them away but that's the most nuisance they cause. I've always wondered why.
- grahamj 2y agoI think how much they're attracted to you and how much you react to bites are independent. My daughter and I can be in the same place outside for a while and she'll end up with many welts while I have nothing. I do catch them biting me sometimes but she just gets swarmed. I'm pretty sure as a kid I got a lot more bites. My kid's a teen so I wonder if hormones play a part.
- hetspookjee 2y agoDefinitely seems the case here that hormones play a part. When my wife was pregnant she got 100% of the bites. Now we’re having a son and the bites are even again

- orionsbelt 2y agoI’ve literally seen them chase me and avoid others I am with. I also do react and get welts/itchy, but they 100% are also chasing me more than others.
