Considering that human diet can modify the metabolic rate and the release of different odor-related volatile metabolites (Havlicek & Lenochova, 2006; Ajibola et al., 2013; Baranska et al., 2013; Zuniga et al., 2017), it is not surprising that some foods and alcoholic beverages can have an impact on the release of kairomones. However, as shown in this section, the literature on these aspects is quite scarce and further studies on the effects of diet on susceptibility to mosquitoes are needed.
Reading the sections prior to that, it seems metabolic rate and some other factors matter more in the attraction of mosquitos - mostly odors and other stuff influenced by genetics.
I don’t believe this. My daughter and I get bit as soon as we step outside. My wife and son don’t even put on bug spray.
That’s anecdotal, not data.
