O blood group people are more bitten by mosquitos.

Blood type can also influence, how likely you are to get bitten by mosquitoes. Researchers say that people with type O are twice as likely to get bitten as those with type B

My blood group is O and I hardly ever get bitten by mosquitoes, I mean, just like normal people and not more. Whereas a few of my friends with B type swear that the tiny buggers bite them more than others! So which one is true?

Some times these scientific researchers  come up with revelations which are not always necessarily true will spread more panic  than the mosquitoes that spread Dengue.

I have heard that people secrete a chemical through their skin that attracts the mosquitoes, and it happens more in ‘O’ group people. But I don’t believe that mosquitoes have partiality.  Mosquitoes have no politics or religion. They know that the same blood is flowing in the veins of every human being.  

Well said. Mosquitoes irrespective of the Blood groups bite every human.

But the scientific evidences say differently.

I get bitten very easily by mosquitoes , if there is one in the room it is sure to come and bite me...I guess it is a certain blood type that they go for !

Scientific observations say O group people are more vulnerable to mosquito bites.

I have no idea about this but one thing I have observed that my son gets mosquito bite more often than his father and me, his blood group is 'O'. The bites even turn into small abscess which is really troublesome.    

The condition of your son conforms to what researchers said in the thread that O group people are likely to get bitten by Mosquitoes.

Whatever it may be, better arrange Mosquito net around his bed. I mean, let him sleep in a separate bed just near by your Bed.

I think you're right, my wife suffers from Mosquito bites more than I do and she has the same blood group.

In such cases, first action should be your wife should use a Mosquito net, see the effect. Next action should be consulting a doctor. Precautions against Dengue are more important than the Medicine itself.

Our bedrooms and other rooms are mosquito safe but it's always the case while she is out of house in our lawn or garden. Should I suggest her to use a burka?

Ahaha... not necessarily Sunil. What I meant was to be more cautious and make ourselves immune to the dangerous Dengue,

 

The other factors which attracts mosquitoes are:

1. Mosquitoes can identify colors and attract towards red, blue, black colors. People wearing cloths of these colors attract more mosquitoes.

2. People drinking bear attracts more mosquitoes, as the amount of ethanol in our body increases after drinking bear, and ethanol attracts mosquitoes.

3. Smell of sweat coming out of body also attracts mosquitoes.

I have the same problem since I spend a lot of time in the garden and get bitten by mosquitoes, so I use repellent cream on my arms and legs or diluted eucalyptus oil both of which are quite effective!

Fortunately, I wear my white Pyjama and a white Banian. I cover my self too. I'm not a Beer drinker. The other conditions sweet smelling is also ruled out. Good thing is my home is using Mosquito meshes over all the windows. I think I'm taking all the precautions, These practices are being observed well before the outbreak of Dengue.

Surprisingly she has discovered a wonderful way of protection- she uses fresh juice of Aloe Vira, it has really magical power to keep you safe from mosquito-- at least in her case.

Of course there are many such home remedies for  keeping mosquitoes away.  Papaya, neem and use of Basil or Tulsi are some of them

Is that so ? I will try it out since I have plenty of Aloe Vera growing at home and it is much better than creams which has chemicals..Tulsi plant is supposed to keep mosquitoes away but only within its range since we have black tulsi growing in our garden here and there ! 

We have both Aloevera and Tulsi on the roof our flat for everybody's use. Neem leaves are available from a neem tree just opposite to my flat. Additionally I eat regularly Papaya, which too has the potential to prevent Dengue.
