I am being eaten alive by spiders and insects but my husband and child are never bitten, why is that??

We live in southwest, husband and I sleep in the same bed, we all wear shorts often. No perfumes worn, no bug spray used yet.

Hey!! I've got that same problem! My Husband rarely gets bitten, and they just eat me alive!!
My Man always says it's coz they like "Sweet Meat"!! lol
I think we women emit a desirable scent to not only men--but to all the critters buzzing around out there. I hate bug spray--but I guess you gotta do what you gotta do!! Sure beats wearing a flea collar, or toting around a bug zapper!!lol

I've read that women release certain chemicals that men don't; humans aren't consciously aware of it but insects sure are.

In short, we have sweeter blood in our veins! It all makes sense.
You probly watch too much t.v.
Because they think that you are tasty.
You taste sweeter?

If I were a bug, I wouldn't mind "eating" you.
Some people have a different reaction to bug bites than others. My brother will get eaten alive by bugs, and it will leave huge bites allover him, but nobody else is afected.
The "OFF" bugs spray works real well for my brother, and we don't have to listen to him complain anymore
I would call Orkin and have them take control of this problem
Some people are just more appealing to insects- it has to do with your body chemistry. I never get bitten, but my kids do.
you should get checked out by a doctor and get a electronic bug repeller
their blood is not sweet like yours I am very serious here. The insects are attracted o sweet blood and yours is. So watch out with the sweets you eat, it could be dangerous for you in the future. Good luck to you
I have no idea why...maybe it is something to do with human females' biology, as someone said. But I think I'm staying of the southwest. Brown recluses there. I hate spiders!
Not all blood is the same, bugs prefer the one over the other.
