Mosquitoes hate blood type A the most and are least attracted to it. They show a strong preference for blood type O, which they find the most attractive, followed by type B. Blood type A is the least preferred by mosquitoes, so people with this blood type tend to get fewer bites compared to others.
Details on Mosquito Blood Type Preferences
- Mosquitoes prefer to bite people with blood type O the most, especially the O positive or O negative groups.
- Blood type B is the second most attractive to mosquitoes.
- Blood type A is significantly less attractive, causing mosquitoes to bite people with type A blood less frequently.
- People who are "secretors" (those who secrete blood type antigens in their bodily fluids) may be more attractive to mosquitoes regardless of blood type.
- Other factors such as body odor, carbon dioxide emissions, skin bacteria, and clothing color also influence mosquito attraction.
Summary
In essence, mosquitoes "hate" (are least attracted to) blood type A, while they prefer type O blood the most when choosing whom to bite. However, blood type is just one factor among many affecting mosquito attraction.
