OK, HIV cant be transmitted thru mosquitoes cause first: HUMAN... it exists only in humans.  It cannot exist anywhere else.  Remember that when the virus is outside person (that is in the blood) it dies, and only "reactivates" when it comes in contact with blood again (eg an open wound).  Therefore It cant live in a mosquito, cause its not human.  The article below may help.\n\n\nInsects\n\nFrom the onset of the HIV epidemic, there has been concern about transmission of the virus by biting and bloodsucking insects. However, studies conducted by researchers at CDC and elsewhere have shown no evidence of HIV transmission through insects--even in areas where there are many cases of AIDS and large populations of insects such as mosquitoes. Lack of such outbreaks, despite intense efforts to detect them, supports the conclusion that HIV is not transmitted by insects.\n\nThe results of experiments and observations of insect biting behavior indicate that when an insect bites a person, it does not inject its own or a previously bitten person’s or animal’s blood into the next person bitten. Rather, it injects saliva, which acts as a lubricant or anticoagulant so the insect can feed efficiently. Such diseases as yellow fever and malaria are transmitted through the saliva of specific species of mosquitoes. However, HIV lives for only a short time inside an insect and, unlike organisms that are transmitted via insect bites, HIV does not reproduce (and does not survive) in insects. Thus, even if the virus enters a mosquito or another sucking or biting insect, the insect does not become infected and cannot transmit HIV to the next human it feeds on or bites. HIV is not found in insect feces.\n\nThere is also no reason to fear that a biting or bloodsucking insect, such as a mosquito, could transmit HIV from one person to another through HIV-infected blood left on its mouth parts. Two factors serve to explain why this is so--first, infected people do not have constant, high levels of HIV in their bloodstreams and, second, insect mouth parts do not retain large amounts of blood on their surfaces. Further, scientists who study insects have determined that biting insects normally do not travel from one person to the next immediately after ingesting blood. Rather, they fly to a resting place to digest this blood meal.

One of the things that attracts mosquitos to living creatures is the carbon dioxide they exhale.  That's one of the reasons mosquito traps often emit carbon dioxide.  \n\nMosquitos are also attracted to some compounds in sweat, but the main attractant is carbon dioxide.  They locate victims using their sense of smell.  So, mosquitos can locate victims in the dark, outside, inside, etc. since living things all breathe in oxygen and exhale CO2.\n\nMore info here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosquito\n\nHope this is helpful.  :-)

I learned when a mosquito bites you, she's sticking her needle-like mouthpart into your skin and injecting saliva rich in anticoagulating enzymes so the blood will flow smoothly. Some people are sensitive to those enzymes so their skin itches and when you scratch it, it's irritating the skin even more which will lead to redness and minor swelling around the area of the bite. \n\nI could be wrong since my knowledge on the subject is more than 10 years old. ^_^;

A mosquito can live 1 month if it has enough blood each day but if it hasn't it can only live 1 day.

It's actually a bluish-green.  Look at your veins that come to the surface of your skin.  Blood only turns red when it comes into contact with oxygen.

Most female mosquitoes do not have the proper levels of protein produce viable eggs.  So, they drink blood in order to increase protein levels.  Male mosquitoes do not drink blood.

Lobster Blood is transparent or white, but because Copper is used to transport oxygen around their bodies (whereas humans use Iron), oxygenated blood is slighty blue.

The mosquito is a member of the family Culicidae which  contains about 3500 species in three subfamilies: Anophelinae (3 genera), the Culicinae (9 genera and >80% of all the species) and the Toxorhynchitinae (1 genus). The genera include Anopheles, Culex, Psorophora, Ochlerotatus, Aedes, Sabethes, Wyeomyia, Culiseta, and Haemagoggus.

early death, blood, and insects:)\n-you didn't mention your fears, and i'd like to know them:)

There is no scientific evidence to support this. \nAccording to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), mosquitoes do not inject blood when they bite. As a result, mosquitoes do not transmit the virus. What they do inject is an itch-inducing saliva that acts as a lubricant to aid blood extraction, but it does not carry the virus.\n\nYellow fever and malaria can be transmitted through the saliva, but HIV does not reproduce in insects, so the virus doesn't survive in the mosquito long enough to be transmitted in the saliva.

3/4 th of the human body is water. Blood is the best medium for water to circulate the water along with blood, so that no part of body gets dehydrated.The blood mostly consists of plasma which is mostly water. Thus most of the blood or almost all the blood is water.

In most female mosquitoes, the mouth parts form a long proboscis for piercing the skin of mammals (or in some cases birds or even reptiles and amphibians) to suck their blood. As opposed to a syringe's typically smooth needle, the mosquito proboscis is highly serrated, which leaves a minimal number of points of contact with the skin being pierced — this reduces nerve stimulation to the point where the "bite" is not felt at all, which is generally the case .The females require protein for egg development, and since the normal mosquito diet consists of nectar and fruit juice, which has no protein, most must drink blood to get the necessary protein. Males differ from females, with mouth parts not suitable for blood sucking.

The Aedes aegypti, a kind of mosquito that carries both dengue and yellow fever.  There are others of the same species, such as Aedes albopictus that carries Eastern Equine Encephalitis.

There is an enzyme in Mosquito saliva that prevents coagulating of blood and causes itching.

the answer is some people give off more body heat naturally .Mosquitoes are attracted to people who have more body heat.....if you look this up you would see that it is the scientific answer for your question...mosquitoes are not bees and are not attracted to perfume
