    I dont have O blood type but mosquitoes do love me.

    I once was in the swimming pool floating on my back with just my nose out of the water.

    I saw a mosquito land right on my nose and start to sting me.

    So even when only the tip of my nose is vulnerable to mosquitoes, they are there to sting me within a minute.

    People in my family appreciate to have me in forest walks because I act as a permanent decoy for them.

        Most likely yes.

        But still I wasn’t the only one at the swimming pool.

      I’ve watched them sting through my clothes and one time even a jacket

      I stupidly watched thinking no way it can get thru my jacket and then it just popped its thing right thru it

      Hmm…

      If you don’t have diabetes, you’re about to. Also, you should check your pancreas just in case.

      As I understand it, mosquitoes love those with sugary issues and can be used as “sniffers” for those predisposed to diabetes.

      As for the pancreas, it’s always a good idea to keep current with its situation as it likes to suffer in silence and only airs its troubles once it’s too late.
