Bakit lapitin ng mga lamok ang mga bata?

I've learned from a talk I attended about dengue prevention that contrary to what we believed in, the more that you move, the more that mosquitoes will get attracted to you and most likely bite you. So since alam naman natin how active kids can get, all the more na nilalapitan sila ng mga lamok. Another study I read says that blood type also is another factor why kids and even adults are prone to getting mosquito and other insect bites.
