Am I attractive (... to mosquitoes)?

Pestival Designer Susana Soares' 'Am I Attractive?'' in collaboration with Dr James Logan and Pestival at The Work Gallery this Saturday 12-5.30pm.

Why are some people more attractive to mosquitoes than others? What do our body odours signal to insects? Could ‘unattractive’ chemicals inside our body be a sign that the person a mosquito is about to feed on maybe an unsuitable food source, due to stress caused by illness or disease?

Come and find out how attractive you are … to mosquitoes that is.
