Why Do Mosquitos Bite Your Feet?

Have you ever noticed that when you get mosquito bites there always seems to be a cluster around your ankles and on your feet - especially if you are barefoot or wearing sandals? This is no coincidence. Mosquitos are attracted by the scent and they are especially drawn to the smell of sweaty feet and socks! They can't see us so they rely on smell to find us and our feet are the mouse attractive! However, soap, perfume, and deodorant can also draw them in. We just can't win!
