Re:How Mosquitoes Sniff Out Human Sweat To Find Us by tluyben2 on Sunday March 31, 2019 @01:39AM (#19534098)
I am a very sweaty person and mosquitos do not touch me. When other people suffer, I usually did not even notice there are any mosquitos around at all. So not that obvious for me.

Can you share your blood type? I’m o neg, of the sweaty persuasion, and get destroyed by the buggers. My father in law is AB, is probably normal on the sweat spectrum, smokes and mosquitoes don’t bug him.

I'm a sweaty dude and I'm also O-. I very rarely ever notice mosquitoes around and maybe contend with 2-3 bites a year. My wife is an A type, who doesn't sweat profusely, but she is harassed by mosquitoes every year. She gets it really bad, to the point where we're both actively trying to defend her against them with sprays and portable fans when we're out hiking or backpacking, etc...
