It's O-type blood that's far more attractive to mosquitos.

I lived in Florida my whole life and have spent a lot of time in tropical places around the world. I do not generally attract mosquitoes, much less than people around me. I have O-type blood.

In the South, we have a saying when you attract them: "You must have that sweet blood"
