Swelling, itchiness, skin rashes are some of the irritating results of mosquito bites, but more than that it is the danger that mosquitoes could bring to our family that we take every possible measure to avoid mosquito bites.
It is surprising that mosquitoes have a preferred blood type. Mosquitoes have the ability to recognize what type of blood you have through the chemical your body secretes.
Blood Type O is mosquito’s favorite. The study conducted by the Journal of Medical Entomology, mosquitoes bite twice as often as those with Type A and B.
Mosquitoes are not feeding when they bite humans. They feed on nectar and water. Only females bite humans for their fertility. Researchers are sure that Type O blood helps with mosquito’s fertility compared to other blood types.
Aside from the blood type, pregnant and people who exercise are the ones targeted by mosquitoes.
Pregnant women exhale more air and mosquitoes are attracted to carbon dioxide.
The lactic acid that your body releases when you sweat makes you visible and attractive to mosquitoes.
