>why cows and zebras but not humansYour diet, the bath soap you use, how much you're sweating, supposedly how hard you're breathing all factors into this
I've had mosquitoes bite me through jeans, dude. They'll bite through just about any kind of top you wear that isn't a hardshell. Supposedly in 'Nam the SF wore pantyhose on their arms and legs to prevent bug bites, but I doubt that'd prevent mosquitoes honestly.
I just accept the mosquito menace at this point. If it really bothers you, use DEET.
