These soap scents may lead to more mosquito bites | USA TODAY

Researchers at Virginia Tech say some kinds of soaps could result in more mosquito bites.
Some volunteers’ scents before washing were more attractive to mosquitoes than others, but soap “significantly” changed the volunteers' odor profiles.

“Soaps drastically change the way we smell, not only by adding chemicals but also by causing variations in the emission of compounds that we are already naturally producing,” co-author of the study Chloé Lahondère, an assistant professor of biochemistry at Virginia Tech, said in a press release.
