Mosquitoes bites this blood type: Do you know why mosquitoes bite some people? There is a special reason behind this. Why does this happen? Let’s know about it.
The problem of mosquitoes in the heat increases. No matter how much cream or drugs we use, but mosquitoes do not bite. Mosquitoes are always covered around our ears or head. But have you thought that mosquitoes bite more than others? Because of the mosquito bites, such people first apply spray and lotion and completely cover themselves. Yet they bite them. The scientific proportion has now been found. Research has found that mosquitoes are more attracted to people with some special blood groups. This is the reason why it bites more people with special blood groups. Then we will know how blood type attracts mosquitoes and for what other reasons.
What is a blood group?
There are usually four types of blood groups in humans. Blood type is determined based on the presence or absence of a special protein present on the surface of red blood cells in the body. Blood Group A has a antigen, while blood group B has a B antigen. But if someone has a blood group AB, it has both A and B antigen. As well as blood group O there is neither A or B antigen. This antigen is also found in physical fluids such as saliva and sweat, called a secretor. Then we will know why mosquitoes are bitten by people of certain blood groups.
Whose more and whom does mosquitoes bite?
Many studies have found that mosquitoes are more attracted to people with O blood group. According to the study, mosquitoes are twice as much as people with blood groups. Type A people bite the lowest and the lowest mosquitoes of people with Type AB blood group. Also, people with type B neither bite nor less. The 2004 study, especially on a mosquito species called Aedes Elbopicts, was studied. This mosquito type O blood group made more bites than those with type A. It is especially bite to people who secret their blood type antigen.
O Why does a blood group bite more?
The study states that one reason may be that mosquitoes identify chemical signals from a man’s skin. O People with blood secretes an object H antigen, which attracts mosquitoes more than A K B antigen. Mosquitoes can identify antigen or by other senses, which may be the cause of this attraction. However, scientists say that blood type is just one reason. Mosquitoes do not choose their prey only on the basis of blood type. There are many other reasons besides the blood group, which attracts mosquitoes to a person.
Other reasons
Mosquitoes are also attracted to the odor of the body. Mosquitoes are attracted to lactic acid and ammonia on the skin. The number and type of bacteria present on the skin changes the odor of the body, causing some people to attract mosquitoes. Mosquitoes can experience carbon dioxide from human breath. More CO2, such as exercises, pregnant women, or people with fast metabolism, bite more. Mosquitoes are attracted to the heat. Mosquito bites more people with body temperature high. In addition, the color of the clothing attracts mosquitoes. The dark colors like black, red and dark blue attract more mosquitoes. Similarly, drinking beer or alcohol attracts mosquitoes.
