Sometimes it seems as if mosquitoes were sent to us from the bowels of Hell to do nothing but cause annoyance, pain, and misery. They can dampen spirits on a camping trip, ruin a barbecue, and spread a plethora of diseases all over the world.
Many times, it seems like nothing can slow them down, no matter how much insecticide or bug repellent you use in preparation for such an event.
But amid the slaps and cursing, you may have noticed something peculiar about some of the people you're spending time with. While you jump around and try to slap every mosquito that comes within arms reach, some people seem not to be affected at all. This only makes matters more annoying.
But why does it happen? Take a look at the next page for three major reasons why mosquitos seem to prefer some people over others.

O- and I’m a damn Buffet.
O+ here and they love me
I used to give my dogs brewer’s yeast to repel ticks and fleas. It worked!
That is Vampires.
Bullshit, I’m a-, wear lighter colors at work, and don’t drink until the weekend and I get destroyed by mosquitoes daily at work.
They also like higher blood sugar, younger food, and recent consumption of garlic and onion help repel them.
Actually, it works on blood consuming insects too
Damnt I’m O positive and love beer

You know nothing
O+, drink beer, wear dark clothing. Rarely do I get bit.
I’m O- and rarely get bitten. I think after the summer of changing sprinkler pipe my body built it’s own repellant because I never get bit

Works good on people too! 🙂
Im one who dont have many problems with them and im O-
I haven’t been bitten since I fell off a bike, and messed my chin up a few years ago.
I hope they didn’t get paid too much for that study.

Garlic works for me, prob because I have it daily.
Horseshit I’m type O pos and they don’t bother me like other people
against me 🙁 blood suckers
I’m type A blood, and my wife is type O. Yet those little demons think I’m a gourmet meal, while they ignore my wife. Go figure!
They are attracted by the co2 you exhale,some people just exhale more than others
This doesn’t make sense. I am the poster child described in this article as the most likely to get bitten, yet they usually leave me alone while going after others.
