Is O-type blood more likely to attract mosquitoes?

When we ask a person which season they hate the most, the reason many people dislike summer is nothing more than mosquitoes. Because when we enter summer, the first thing that may come is the invasion of mosquitoes, and mosquitoes have become the biggest overlord of many of us, especially in the morning and at night, when mosquitoes always try to take the opportunity to harass us.

We know that being bitten by a mosquito will not only leave a lump, but also make us feel very itchy, especially when we sleep at night. If we are bitten by a mosquito, we may not be able to sleep all night, which is very annoying. In addition, when mosquitoes fly away, they will make a buzzing sound, which will further affect our sleep quality. We will find that when we are being bullied by mosquitoes, there are some people around us who look calm and composed, as if they have signed a friendly agreement with mosquitoes, and mosquitoes will not actively bite them. Is it really that they are very easy to attract mosquitoes?

We often hear that mosquitoes will specifically bite people with type O blood, which means that people with type O blood are very attractive to mosquitoes. Is this true? Let’s analyze it together.

In fact, anyone with a little common sense will know that this is groundless, because mosquitoes will not be able to identify blood patterns after biting, and the mosquito roots do not have this ability. Even if mosquitoes have this magical function, they can only understand it after biting, so this name is not original.

So who is very likely to be bitten by mosquitoes?

After biting, mosquitoes will not be selective about blood type, but they will have certain preferences. We will find that the dirtier the area, the easier it is for mosquitoes to breed. People with higher body temperature and faster metabolism are more attractive to mosquitoes. These people may sweat more, which mosquitoes can sense. Therefore, after exercising, it is best to wash off the sweat on our bodies before going to bed, which can reduce the attraction to mosquitoes.

The second is obese people. Some people often complain that their thick flesh will attract mosquito bites. In fact, this is true. This is because the blood sugar level of obese people is generally higher, and mosquitoes prefer sweet foods. Therefore, after mosquitoes bite fat people, they will return and bite again. Therefore, for these people, only by taking some preventive measures, such as applying some mosquito repellent, or driving away mosquitoes, can they have a good sleeping environment.

Finally, there are people who emit more carbon dioxide. In fact, they are people with a larger breathing volume. We know that after the body inhales co2, the body will exhale carbon dioxide after metabolism. This gas is more favored by mosquitoes, especially some people with more active metabolism. The carbon dioxide they exhale will be relatively more. In addition, some female friends will apply some cosmetics and spices, which are also one of the factors that attract mosquitoes. Therefore, we can see that there are many factors that attract mosquitoes, but it has nothing to do with blood shape.

Therefore, in the summer, we must keep our environment clean and hygienic, which is the most important, because this can help us reduce mosquito bites, and the rest is to use some anti-mosquito tools.
