O- here but I very, very rarely get bitten. My wife is A and gets it very badly.

  Also O- and it's the other way around for us. Mosquitos hunt me but usually leave my wife alone.

  Wife is O- and is a mosquito magnet that gets huge welts that take ages to go away. I'm A+ and get bites, but they usually don't last long.

I am skeptical. To figure out the blood type of someone, wouldn’t they need to bite anyway? There are more compelling studies showing effects of CO2 and smells.
