In a suprising turn-around from traditional chemical experiments, scientists have discovered that some people have a particular scent that deters mosquitoes from biting them, which is common on holidays across Europe and Africa. Many people claim to have their holidays destroyed as they are too embarrassed by the bright red blemishi to venture out of doors. Itching and malaria are caused by a 'mozzie' bite and the number of bites a night can vary as it depends on the number of mosquitoes biting you, and the number of times each one bites. 

The man behind the research and theory, John Pickett said "those who don't get bitten produce unattrctive chemicals, which mask their otherwise attracfitve odours. However, people must note that the attractiveness is judged by the mosquitoe itself and not on the human smell receptors- do not submit personal hygeine in an atempt to stop the bites. 
The World Health Organisation has also been involved: "we have found a chemical formula that prevents mosquitoes from biting human skin, however the repellent also repels many other life organisms, depriving the subject from contact with human beings".
