I almost never get attacked by mosquitoes - same for my grandmother and my dad. Every time I move to somewhere new, I get bitten occasionally for a few weeks and then they must learn to avoid me, because it stops. OTOH, my grandmother, dad and I all have the same early-onset arthritis in our hands, so it's not entirely a good inheritance!
