I am type O and rarely get bitten, even when those around me are.... however, it could be bc of my extremely limited diet, which I've heard can affect the pheromones you send out.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/los-and-mosquito-bites#post-2246826 Mon, 27 Jul 2015 09:56:31 +0000 pinkb 2246826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD gets eaten alive! And her reaction has gotten continually worse, now they swell up to golf ball size and turn purple like a bruise and last forever. But she doesn't itch them, just calls them booboos. I wonder what her blood type is, DH is O+ but he sweats so much he rarely gets bitten. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/los-and-mosquito-bites#post-2246823 Mon, 27 Jul 2015 09:55:11 +0000 Truth Bombs 2246823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The blood type thing isn't true for us. My daughter and I are both A+ and we get eaten ALIVE and we both swell really badly. My poor girl got a mosquito bite yesterday afternoon and basically her entire shin was swollen and red and the bite itself (the white raised part) was the size of a quarter.She was still complaining it hurt this morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/los-and-mosquito-bites#post-2246805 Mon, 27 Jul 2015 09:39:44 +0000 gracecat 2246805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know.... DH and I both have the same blood type A and I get bit like crazy but DH much less so! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/los-and-mosquito-bites#post-2246802 Mon, 27 Jul 2015 09:38:23 +0000 Smurfette 2246802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She gets bit all the time, like me. They swell up and then itch. I went to wake her this morning and she had dried blood all over her leg. She took her band-aid off the scratched the bite, yet again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/los-and-mosquito-bites#post-2246796 Mon, 27 Jul 2015 09:32:52 +0000 lamariniere 2246796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Type O here and I was always a mosquito magnet until after my second LO was born. Luckily, we don't have a lot of mosquitos around here right now. My LOs haven't had too many bites yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/los-and-mosquito-bites#post-2246789 Mon, 27 Jul 2015 09:27:02 +0000 mrbee 2246789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's a mixed bag in our house. My son gets tons of bites and they itch like crazy, just like his mom! My daughter rarely gets bitten and the bites don't really itch, just like her dad. Apparently it has to do with blood type?</p> <p>&lt;&lt; A 2004 study published in the Journal of Medical Entomology found mosquitoes landed on people with type O blood nearly twice as often as those with type A. Those with type B blood fell in the middle of the spectrum. Typically, for 85 percent of us, our blood type is revealed through a chemical we have on our skin, which makes mosquitoes more attracted to us. &gt;&gt;</p> <p><a href="http://www.medicaldaily.com/pulse/genes-blood-type-and-drinking-beer-why-some-people-are-more-prone-mosquito-bites-326156" rel="nofollow">http://www.medicaldaily.com/pulse/genes-blood-type-and-drinking-beer-why-some-people-are-more-prone-mosquito-bites-326156</a></p> <p>Do your kids get bitten by mosquitoes a lot? </p>
