Why do mosquitoes always find YOU — even when others get left alone? In this video, we break down the fascinating science behind how mosquitoes hunt humans using CO₂, color vision, thermal infrared heat detection, and your skin’s unique microbiome.
Featuring insights from Dr. Josh Bloom: “Mosquitoes aren’t just following a scent trail. They’re integrating information: They see contrast. They detect CO₂. They combine the two — and lock in.”
If you’ve ever wondered why you’re a mosquito magnet, this 60-second explainer reveals the surprising truth — and what you can actually do about it.
