On the contrary, do read THIS ARTICLE
And just to share an interesting quote from the article: QUOTE "People with high concentrations of steroids or cholesterol on their skin surface attract mosquitoes," Butler tells WebMD. That doesn't necessarily mean that mosquitoes prey on people with higher overall levels of cholesterol, Butler explains. These people simply may be more efficient at processing cholesterol, the byproducts of which remain on the skin's surface.  |

Through my observation during a family BBQ session one evening, (geez, I sound like a scientist hahah), I found that family members with high cholesterol records are more likely to attract mosquitoes compared to other low cholesterol family members.
So in conclusion to this we could say that high cholesterol level in a person is the main culprit for mosquitoes bites. |
