Why do I attract mosquitoes?

Well...last night was another 3 hours sleepless night..It is not known if mosquitoes have 'taste' preferences, but much research is being done to determine why some people, like me are more prone to being bitten. So far, scientists have uncovered several factors: for instance, genetics may have a role to play as people who emit larger amounts of carbon dioxide (acidic in anture) are apparently more susceptible, hey im a vegetarian! And contrary to what many think, mosquitoes are more attracted to a moving target than a person who is standing still! yes, i admitted im a lil hyperactive tho' even when i sleep, my leg moved.
