Your chemistry: Biting Insects are attracted to humans for their blood meal by carbon dioxide and some skin surface chemicals. These are not uniformly distributed amongst all persons and some have more than others. Those unlucky persons will get bit more frequently and sometimes they are the only ones who get bit.
