Right from primary school age, we tell children that if another boy or girl has teased them, it’s “because they like them”. And playful teasing happens a lot in dating well into adulthood.

Warm summer nights often bring unwelcome guests into our homes in the form of mosquitoes. For now we fortunately don’t have any mosquito-borne diseases being transmitted to humans in the UK, but with the warmer temperatures brought on by climate change, it may only be a matter of time until that changes. You may have noticed that some of us seem to attract more mosquito bites than others, even within the same household or having been at the same gathering. A popular belief is that mosquitoes have a preference for certain types of skin, because they find them sweeter. Is skin ‘sweetness’ really the most important factor?
