Gerri
Player Sherry, I'm type o and i use avon Skin so Soft works
Player Sherry
figures! Imma type O and I can barely enjoy any warm weather with all the mosquito bites I get. I've also been bit on my head the bottom of my feet and right through my clothes. I found mentholatum helps with the itch!

I live close to a marshy area. We used to have a lot of mosquitoes until the dragonflies arrived. They really keep the mosquito population in check.

I'm O rhesus negative and they never bite me at all, I must smell funky or something though 🤣
JR Dangler
I thought they like me because I'm Portuguese.
Player #6852065
I have friends who eat a lot of garlic. They seem to never get bitten. The odor is secreted in their sweat.
Stephanie.S.
luckycatfay, I'm generally the only one who's bitten by them too. The bites look like fried eggs on me.
Moon
but the real question is WHY type O? I wonder if they're close to figuring that out
Mel
My daughter is A positive and she gets bitten all the time. Try to explain that. I hardly ever do, so I guess they are not interested.
Rosie
Player Sherry, Tea tree oil is very good to stop itch.
Daisy
Gerald, Yes citronella keeps them at bay, you can't burn it indoors mind but works fantastically outdoors 😊👍👍👍
Daisy
Wheesper, and any parasites :(
Daisy
Gerri, the woodland one with insect repellent I think you mean?

Philicola
Stephanie.S., decant skin so soft into a 100ml spray bottle, I use this n it stops bites n eases bites I get x
Cheryl
Player #6852065, yes, garlic totally helps ward off the little blood suckers!
sdifiore
That's not true... I'm O and everybody around me is bit but me
Paula J
UltraViolet, In research studies, type I is bitten more often, which has nothing to do with greater numbers of type O folks
Wheesper
Ohmygoshness, fleas & ticks, too!!
Lillian
JR Dangler, Must be the linguica!
Lillian
Gerri, Skin So Soft works better than any bug spray---I'm type O also.
Wannabe Vulcan
Ohmygoshness, then what would the bats have eaten?

Player #86141257
Actually, there is new research on this. it's not blood type but something completely different
Royalty
For mosquitoes not to bite me I prepare food with garlic & onions... it works for me & my family.
jay

Love dragonflies but when they're inside the house lizards love to eat them 😔😔
gorgon

Gigi
I’m type o and the least bitten among any circle of ppl, probably due to absence of all other factors mentioned in the info..phew😃
Player #35387966
That is good information to have when you go out and explore the outdoors.
Katy Jo
Player #31247681, Do U like Mustard?
MoCanVan
Wow! now I know why, my brother and I are always the first to get attacked by mosquitoes!
O bloody blood!!
My poor brother since he was a little kid he’d always get bitten by mosquitoes and we always thought it’s because he has super white and soft skin and probably sweet for mosquitoes 😁
Gerald
And BTW hang up bat houses! Anyone talking the nonsense,"... bats get in people's hair" 🙄 Bats can devour millions of skeeters a night.

I lived for many years in a suburb in N Oakland Cty. MI USA w/ 2 modest apt bldgs, ours in the front off the street & the other behind it with connecting lots & Clinton River winding along to our rght. with a stretch of pristine flatland/forested expanse on the other side. Nice 4 experiencing flora/fauna but u wanna talk skeeter? (Btw-the man said O! Dat means +,-,neutral;some of ya really need spankings..skeeters need spankings but 1 can't spank a mosquito.)We apt dwellers would oft
converge in the evenings of summer at the picnic table for a mingling and drinking and a little puffings. Me being one the skeeters would try to earnestly dine on, I would stock up on citronella candles, the big tub type. They hate that scent. We had this perimeter established.
