Answer 1

They may not like you better, but they certainly like your blood more than the others, probably because your blood type attracts mosquitoes. It is proven that this, is so.

Answer 2

Mosquitoes do NOT differentiate at all.  The only reason that this "may" happen, is that everyone else is wearing something like a perfume or deodorant or cologne, or ?? that the mosquitoes just don't like.  Side note:  the female mosquito is the only one that bites.  The male is out there looking for flowers so he can sip their nectar.

Answer 3

Yes they do! no rhyme or reason. My daughter has the same luck as you.

Answer 4

They like blood and not humans. Humans blood is more easy to suck due to their soft skin. Animal blood is an alternative although thy have a very hard skin. They are usually attracted by Co2.

Answer 5

mos..r attracted towards black...may b u r black skinned...also they like sweet bloods..may b u eat sweets more...so ur blood tastes sweet somehow.?!!!

Answer 6

Depends on what you eat

Answer 7

they don't like "specific people", but they do like "specific temperature", CO2 gradient, and "specific proteins" that are found in the blood, all these factors are different in different people..

mosquitoes might have found your body temperature gradient and your body odors (which are specific to you) favorable to them..

Answer 8

No they dont
