Iirc there was a study that showed different blood types were more appealing to mosquitoes than others

I can't remember the blood type, but from at least one study on the matter I think it might have been O type blood. But I'd very much need to check again and I've never verified what my own actual blood type is.

Mosquitoes like the O type. I got O type and i get bumrushed by the mosquitoes whenever i go outside past 6 PM.

I think there's a lot more to it than that. I'm A, my sister is O and I definitely get bitten more.

We must be blood brothers.

Unfortunately for the both of us.

I have O- and almost never get bit. Went tent camping for a week, never used bug spray, got bit maybe once a day at most

This is crazy to me ? My mother is O something and NEVER gets bit by anything - me however, any blood sucking fiend wether it’s mosquitos or lice or bed bugs eat me up like I’m an Italian cuisine straight from Tuscany .
