Is it true that mosquitoes bite some people more than others? According to a study, the answer is yes, and blood type may make a difference in this matter.

The study indicates that there are factors that make some people more attractive to mosquitoes than others, with blood type being one of the elements mentioned as potentially relevant.

However, an entomologist warned about other factors that also have influence on mosquito bites, suggesting that the issue is more complex than just blood type.

The article does not present additional information about what those other factors mentioned by the entomologist are, leaving the explanation incomplete.
