Are you a “mosquito magnet”? Could it be that something about you in particular tickles their fancy?
Why are you a “mosquito magnet”, could it be that something about you in particular tickles their fancy? Is it true that mosquitoes have a preference when it comes to blood-type?Several studies have supported the claim that mosquitoes might be more attracted to those with type O blood over others.
A small-scale study conducted in 2004 found that of 64 test subjects, those with blood type O were significantly likely to have a mosquito land on them than on other blood groups A, B and AB. After feeding, the DNA of blood in mosquitoes was extracted. The researchers found that the highest preference was observed for the blood group O. However, no one blood type was found to influence a mosquito’s egg production over another.
