As a child, mosquito's used to love me, & I'd get plenty of bites. As I 
got older my bilirubin levels rose ever higher till now I'm officially 
jaundiced (my levels are above normal range). And indeed for a long time, 
mosquito's have avoided me. I also have a cousin with Gilbert's and 
mosquito's avoid him too. So is there a connection between high bilirubin 
levels and mosquito's aversion?
