Mosquito bites and Cholinergic Urticaria

Since I developed this horrible condition six years ago mosquitoes do not bite me. Only benefit I’ve gotten from this. Anyone quit getting mosquito bites?

Oh wow, that’s odd.
I was just at my mother’s house a couple of days ago. Everyone was getting bitten by mosquitos except for me. I’ve long since noticed that they generally don’t bother me, and I’ve always wondered why.
I don’t even have hives right now, and I’m still not being bitten. My wife thinks its because I have hair on my arms/legs, but I don’t think that’s why. Maybe I stink 😉

Do you guys have problems sweating? Mosquitoes smell our CO2 when we exhale and all they do is follow the concentration gradient to find us and bite us. Maybe something in sweat is another excretion they sense to find us.
That being said, I can’t go a day’s work outside without getting bitten once, being in Houston and all. 🙁

No, I’m sweating right now actually. Maybe mosquitos just don’t like me =). Maybe I have sour blood or something.

I also seem to sweat fine. The mosquitoes will buzz my ear and also even land on me. However they don’t bite, it’s as if my blood is contaminated.

Me either, mosquitoes generally don’t bite me…I can’t remember the last time I was bitten.
