Turns out there are a bunch of reasons! How much carbon dioxide you exude makes a difference to how appetising you are to the buggers.
People with a larger body mass and pregnant people produce more carbon dioxide, which means they're also more likely to be bitten.

A higher body temperature could also mean you are more likely to be bitten.
