US researchers have found mosquitos are drawn to body odour, from as far as 35 foot away.
Scientists at Rockerfeller University released hundreds of mosquitos into a testing area, in which six volunteers slept in tents.
According to the Washington Post, pads heated to human skin temperature were piped with the volunteer's scents - infrared cameras were then used to note how often the insects landed on them.
The mosquitos were most attracted to people who released high levels of a certain acid - which can smell.
