You would probably agree I thoroughly covered the topic of what causes one to be an attractive target for those blood-sucking mini-vampires we call mosquitos. But it was not the end. I have uncovered more critical information for your benefit as I venture into uncharted mosquito territory.
Mosquitoes are attracted to salt, potassium, and lactic acid that is released from your body, and therefore are drawn to people who have recently finished off a banana. While bananas may be their number 1 option, mosquitoes are also drawn to avocados and dried fruit. So be aware of your surroundings before consuming a banana.
***Note: This is especially important if you are visiting the Tabasco Hot Sauce Factory and Country Store on Avery Island, Louisiana. Linda and I were there and we can say from first-hand experience Avery Island Mosquitos are numerous, the approximate size of a Volkswagen Beetle and show no mercy!
