Which Blood Group Attracts Mosquitoes

Indeed, mosquito prevention is always better than mosquito bite treatments. In this respect, one must know which blood group mosquitoes bite the most. A study conducted in the year 2019 revealed that mosquitoes do have a blood group preference. It was observed in this study that the mosquito’s favourite blood group is O which is deprived of A and B antigens on the red blood cells’ surface.

Experts believe that it may be possible that mosquitoes can sense the presence of antigens through a person’s saliva, tears, and sweat. Based on this, they prefer biting those who have blood group O.

Other Things that Attract Mosquitoes

Mosquitoes are attracted not just by a specific blood group, there are a couple of things that also act as mosquito magnets. What are these things that attract mosquitoes? Have a look:

Mosquito Attraction	Reason
CO2	The more a person exhales CO2, the higher the risk to get mosquito bites because CO2 releases heat, a prime attraction for mosquitoes
Water	Areas close to coastal regions or rivers usually have high mosquito population because abundance of water gives these species more chances to breed
Sweat	People who sweat profusely will definitely attract mosquitoes because they will release more ammonia, uric acid, and lactic acid. All these will be released through sweat and attract mosquitoes
Floral Aroma	Mosquitoes are one of those species that get attracted to floral scents, so avoid using perfumes that release floral smells if you want to minimize the risk of mosquito bites
Pregnancy	A study conducted in 2000 revealed that pregnant women are more prone to mosquito bites because they have a high body temperature and also releases more CO2
Color	Some research conducted in 2018 revealed that mosquitoes also have some color preference. They are drawn more towards darker shades like black, grey, and blue
Body Odor	The body odor released by a person also plays a vital role in attracting mosquitoes. According to a study, higher volume of bacteria found on a person’s skin and certain genetic factors releasing peculiar body odor attracts mosquitoes
