      Mosquitoes do have a favourite. And it is the O type. This is the most common blood type and is apparently the tastiest one for mosquitoes too. There was a study done where it was found that mosquitoes were 2 times more likely to bite someone with O blood.
      I do not think i owuld have liked to have taken part in that study.

      Have you ever been bitten bu a mosquito
