Is there a correlation between blood type and mosquito bites?

Question

Is there a correlation between blood type and mesquito bites? I'm A+ blood and get bit all the time but my friends are O and they never get bit.

Answer 1

I have the same problem, one mosquito in a room of 20 people and it finds me. I have O neg. I have two thories: one, mosquitos can see a warmer body; two, the co2 you breath out is greater than others. I don't know how, but I doubt that it is blood type.

Answer 2

The females of blood sucking species locate their victims primarily through scent. They are extremely sensitive to the carbon dioxide in exhaled breath, as well as several substances found in sweat. Some people seem to attract mosquitoes more than others. Empirical studies of mosquito bites suggest that the risk of being bitten follows an approximately negative binomial distribution. Being male, being overweight, and having type 'O' blood may increase the risk of being bitten. Mosquitoes can detect heat, so they can find warm-blooded mammals and birds very easily once they get close enough.

Answer 3

No relation between blood group & mosquito bite, but there is a hypothesis that due to presence of female harmones they are fond of biting women!

Answer 4

I doubt if mosquitos have preference for any given type of blood which is basically what the blood suckers are after!
