Are you a warm person? (rhetorical) Mosquito's only look for specific heat signals released by people. So if your the only one getting biten it is likely that you have a greater body heat that everyone else. It is also possible that you wear bright colors for clothes. Mosquito's will attack you mistaking you for a flower! NO seriously. Also males are almost three times as likely to get attacked by the horrid bloody things!

If you wear darker clothing , this can also attract the little blood suckers. I have a virtual shield against these diminutive vampires...garlic. The pyrethrines and related oils repel the pests like pepperspraying a mugger. If you eat sweets and dsugary fruits you also might be more attractive to the mosquito. Blood group or type...no.
Some medications and illnesses can 'sweeten' the blood.

I heard one time that mosquitoes in the Amazon regions prefer North Americans because they eat more salt than the natives.

Mosquitos can smell the blood they like. I used to get massacred by 'em when camping, and also by fleas and spiders. I assumed that my blood must be extra sweet. I'm O+ I think.

Mosquitos are attracted to sh|t , so it only stands to reason they are attracted to you! How do I know you are sh|t? When you told that child to put the gun to his head and pull the trigger to see if it was loaded or not, that's how I know you're sh|t! Now go ahead and report me, I don't care, I said what needed to be said. I have one question for you tho, if the child had been a muslim, would you have told him to kill himself then? Think about that for a while.

My grandmother says that's because your blood is sweeter to the mosquito.

They can detect minute amount of chemicals. They might like your scent. For some reason they prefer Scandinavians, its unknown why. They do have preferences.
