Honestly, my parents and my siblings, don't get bit at all. We have two dogs. Normally, when the fleas or mosquitoes get on their skin, it doesn't suck their blood. Now, when it get on my body, it sucks my blood and leaves nice fresh irritating insect bites. Is there something wrong with me?

The mosquitoes are attracted to carbon dioxide yo exhale and maybe other smells you produce. I have always been the main course for mosquitoes no matter how many other people are on their menu as well.
It really sucks. They find me in 10 minutes. I have also been bitten by lady bugs and no one has ever heard of them biting.
There are clothes now that repell insects. Good if you live outside Az where we can't wear long sleeved and legged clothes 6 months out of the year - during the bug season.
There is nothing wrong with you (or me) - just be glad you are not a target for hornets or bees. Use insect repellent.
I heard there are some things you can eat or tak orally but can't remember. A bug zapper in the back your or citronella candles help.

Don't be so sure that your parents and siblings don't get bit, they probably do but it doesn't leave any marks or anything and they may not even notice it. All insects leave a tiny bit of a poison when they bite, some more than others. Some people react much more strongly than others and will get bumps or rashes from insect bites. There is nothing wrong with you.
