    Most people don’t realize how much pollution is in the indoor environment of buildings, where we spend most of our time. For example, many of the products we use to clean and freshen our homes, schools, and workplaces add hidden toxins to the air. “There’s no smell in the air,” says Anne Hicks, a pediatric pulmonary specialist at the University of Alberta in Canada. “If you can smell it, there’s a chemical in the air that’s getting into your nose.

On the other hand, the other people they are with don’t feel any pain. They don’t get bitten by a single mosquito, and when they do, they often only get a small red mark on their body. My friends have long joked that my blood must be ‘unusually sweet.’ And they are probably right. Our bodies emit a number of biological signals, such as breath and body odor, that determine how likely a person is to be bitten by a mosquito.
