Why do some people attract mosquitoes? Best-selling author Francesca Gould explains what makes mosquitoes want to suck our blood - the answers may surprise you!
From Wikipedia: "The mosquitoes are a family of small, midge-like flies: the Culicidae. Although a few species are harmless or even useful to humanity, most are a nuisance because they suck blood from vertebrates, many of them attacking humans. In feeding on blood various species of mosquitoes transmit some of the most harmful human and livestock diseases. Some authorities argue accordingly that mosquitoes are the most dangerous animals on earth."
Francesca Gould was born in Bath, England, although has lived most of her life in Bristol. Her passion for health, beauty and fitness led to a career in teaching before becoming an author. She believes that stress and an unhealthy diet is largely responsible for poor health and accelerating the aging process; this led her to study for a Food and Nutrition BSc degree at Bath Spa University. A proud moment in her career as a writer was when, in 2008, her trivia book 'Why is Yawning Contagious?' made it into the New York times bestseller list. She has written several health books and has a new title on anatomy and physiology coming out soon.
