Mosquitoes are drawn to people based on a number of factors, not simply blood type. However, individuals with Type O blood are statistically more likely than those with other blood types to secrete a chemical marker that acts as an odorant and attracts mosquito landings (and hence, bites).

I know that is true. I always said I am a mosquito magnet. Coat my body and clothes with Deep woods off and I still get at least 5 bites in a hour. add a comment

Mosquitoes are not attracted to any blood type more then another. In fact mosquitoes are attracted by body odor, sweat and Carbon Dioxide. Your blood type is not a factor.
