There are apparently a number of factors that can contribute to your own personal level of mosquito attractiveness. People with "O" blood Types are apparently preferred over Type A; Type B's fall somewhere in the middle. They are attracted to the smell of ethanol secreted though the skin, and also to body heat and carbon dioxide. So, if you have been drinking, exercising, or are pregnant, you are at a higher risk of getting bitten. Mosquitos are also attracted to dark clothing, and tend to be more active around dusk and dawn.

Well now lets see..my blood type is Aneg, I don't think I secrete much ethanol through my skin because I don't drink very much, I don't exercise while on vacation other than diving, and praise the Lord I'm NOT pregnant. So, it must be my "body heat" which does tend to become more active around dusk and dawn..ha!! :blinking: ( I only said that so cv could get his laugh for the day)
