Anecdotal, but I think there's some kind of immunity component. My parents grew up in a mosquito infested country. When we visited said country, us kids were bitten up while my parents were fine. If it was genetics, you think it would've been passed on to us. The locals commonly joked that mosquitos like "new blood." You could see tourists with itchy red bite reactions while the locals were fine.
Not really new info. Heard this before.
I'm confused by your title and responses. Was there some document somewhere that we were to read to familiarize ourselves with what you already know before we post?
Sorry. Looking for any current research from this year.
