蚊子特别喜欢叮你 其实与基因有关

If you frequently find yourself covered in mosquito bites, while others escape without so much as an itch, you can blame your genes.

如果你发现蚊子特别喜欢叮你,而其他人都安然无恙,这其实与你的基因有关。

For British scientists have discovered evidence that some people are simply born to attract mosquitoes.

In experiments they found that people’s body smell attracted the insects in different ways - and this was strongly influences by genetics.

The team, led by scientists at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, found that pairs of identical twins - who share 100 per cent of their genes - are equally attractive to mosquitoes.

Non-identical twins, who only share about 50 per cent of their genes, differ in the degree to which they attract the bugs, the scientists found.

The research, published in the journal PLOS One, provides strong evidence that your chance of being bitten is genetically-driven.

The results show that the trait has a similar link to genes as height and IQ.
