I have not had chemo but have always been an attractive target for mosquitos, and always had a severe reaction to the bites. My understanding is the buggers are drawn to people who put out a lot of CO2. I just read an article on severe itching (I think in the newspaper or a health newsletter yesterday.) There is a gene associated with it. If I can find the article, I'll post the info. For more on itching, check out this thread: http://her2support.org/vbulletin/sho...ight=Urticaria
