What Blood Type Do Mosquitoes Prefer?

Posted by Mosquito Squad

July 24, 2018

When you and your friends are relaxing outdoors, do you wonder why mosquitoes enjoy feeding on one of you more than the other? Well, according to a recent article, mosquitoes are, in fact, attracted to one specific blood type. The most interesting part about this is that the majority of people don’t even know their own blood type; which is quite astonishing. Lest we digress, it’s great to know that mosquitoes do actually enjoy feeding on specific blood types. In addition to favoring blood types, mosquitoes also target those that breathe heavily, alcohol drinkers and people with higher body temperatures.

Apparently, Type O is more attractive to mosquitoes. While this may still be in the early days of being scientifically proven, there’s some truth to it. In addition to Type O blood, mosquitoes also prefer Type A. There are many variables as to why mosquitoes seem to prefer some people over others. If you’re looking for a way to keep mosquitoes from biting you or your family members, no matter the blood type, then just call the mosquito control experts at Mosquito Squad of Columbia.
