Default I just read why insects are attracted to us!!!

Here's what I just got off the internet!!!!

Scientists think that insects may be attracted by body odor or perhaps by pheromones-the natural odors that attract people to one another. Insects do possess the senses of sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell. People with allergies or eczema/atopic dermatitis appear to be more prone to bites as well as to complications like bacterial infections from scratching.


So we are either giving off pheramones, or sweat, or something!!!!
