Low iron levels will this make me more susceptible to mosquito bites?

No.: Mosquitoes do not know or care of your iron concentration. You will not have any more or less reaction as a result.

No: Mosquitoes are attracted to carbon dioxide in exhaled breath, and to other factors that aren't well understood.
