Yellow Jackets chase me. Like, if I get out of their way they dive-bomb me. I used to think it was because of the beer I drink (Icehouse), but the other day I sat outside with a bottle of water and they still came after me. I don't get it.
See?!?! My husband thinks I am nuts!!! I told him damn roaches chase me!!!
Hahah yes I’m not the only one! Lol I hate them so much. When ever I visit anyone’s home or apartment and they have roaches, atleast one will always run towards me. I used to have an infestation where I used to live but with the big ones. I never had them there at first until one found it’s way over and then boom they took over. Omg that was a few years of hell dealing with them. Raid didn’t do almost anything to them I feel that they were getting smarter and were building a resistance to it. Once I got boric acid it wiped them out completely. At one point it got so bad that I saw between one to a few big ones daily and they used to fly sometimes. I had one fly on my face once, one of them even followed me into the bathtub so I slipped and fell on my butt when I saw that sucker running towards me. I noticed during the summer time I see them a lot outside on the streets and sometimes the side walks all over the city, especially from a building around my area, they always love hanging out by the side of that building. I passed by and had to freaking jump and tippy toe at the same time cause like 2 big suckers kept running towards me lol and they came from different directions, I was like what the heck man are they trying to kill me. I swear every time I see one of them I feel like I’ll get a heart attack haha. I just hope they don’t find their way here to where I live now, I don’t need that living nightmarish situation to return again like I used to deal with at the old place.
The sweat of some people smells better to bugs. I remember reading about it but not why.
That's what first popped into my mind. I'm sure it's the smell. Certain people's pheramones must be more attractive to bugs. They love mine! Hate my husband's. So I'm the opposite of the OP. I get eaten up all the time, at all times of the year, but more so in the summer. It sucks. I'm glad I don't like to wear shorts or expose my skin. It would look like I have scabies to a lot of people I suppose. That would prob gross 'em out.

That can definitely be a part of it! My husband and I have vastly different diets. I tend to eat more healthy than he does, more fruits and vegetables (he hardly eats any. And tons of processed food. He's healthy as a horse however. Very physical labor job too, as well as numbers checking out well on wellness check-ups).
Bugs love me, especially the biters...fleas, mosquitos...
