I've definitely heard there's a genetic element where some people just smell or taste yummy to them. I don't have any research or anything tho. From personal experience, I think I get bitten more if I'm eating much sugar, or drinking alcohol, possibly because of a slightly higher body surface temp, or smell/taste different with more blood sugar.
