RE: Memorial Day festivities started early here.
Would some one condense this for me..?

Not sure if there’s anything you can do about it.
Essentially it says that our skin is teeming with bacteria. There are billions of them, living on the dry parched landscapes of your forearms, and the wet, humid forests of your nose. On your feet alone, every square centimetre has around half a million bacteria. These microbes are more than just passengers, hitching a ride on your bodies. They also affect how you smell.
The bacteria on our skin can affect our odds of being bitten by a malarial mosquito.
The mosquito that carries malaria – Anopheles gambiae – tracks its victims with an acute sense of smell. It can track the plumes of carbon dioxide that we exhale, and it’s also attracted to the mix of smelly chemicals given off by our skin.
We know that some people smell much more attractive to mosquitoes than others. Our diet matters – for example, drinking beer can give our body odor an irresistible allure.
It’s not hard to see how these studies could eventually help us to develop new chemicals that attract mosquitoes into traps, or repulse them from humans. But there’s a lot of work to do first. The most obvious next move is to work out which chemicals the different skin bacteria are giving off.
Thank you for explaining my problem with females jumping me all the time. It is really disturbing.
