Why Do Some People Get Bit By Mosquitoes More Than Others?

I might have mentioned part of this before. I've probably only been bit by a mosquito half a dozen times in my 61 years on Earth. Hubby gets bit constantly. Bugs LOVE him. So this is the part I think I've shared with you before. People with Type O blood are twice as likely to be bitten compared to Type A blood. Isn't that interesting? And yes, Hubby has Type O blood and I have Type A blood. But there are also other reasons as well. Sweaty, warm skin releases lactic acid, ammonia, and other stuff and mosquitos are attracted to heat. Larger people with higher metabolisms produce more CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) attract mosquitoes Pregnant women are a primary target Eating bananas or drinking beer alters your body chemistry, attracting mosquitos.
