Why do mosquitoes bite some people, but not others?

I’m just curious is it the type of blood some people or their scent? My mom and I both have always gotten bitten every time we leave the house living in Florida and my dad only gets bit maybe once a year, If that.

Two main reasons:

1. Taller people tend to attract more mosquitoes since they exhale more CO2 and mosquitoes use CO2 to locate their target.

2. The bacteria on the surface of your skin give a certain “odor” that can be attractive or repulsive to mosquitos. This can cause some people to attract more mosquitoes becuase they “smell better” to them and vice versa.
