The text claims mosquitoes are attracted to people who have recently eaten bananas.
Infact verdict: Mostly False (39/100).
The claim that mosquitoes are attracted to people who have recently eaten bananas is not strongly supported by scientific evidence. Available studies and expert opinions suggest that mosquitoes are primarily attracted to body chemistry and CO2 emissions rather than specific dietary habits. Although one medium-reliability source mentions an association, this is not widely corroborated by authoritative scientific findings. Therefore, the claim lacks strong evidence and is likely more myth than reality.
