Do you suffer from insect bites?

I'm type O and the mosquitos and the no seeums love me. My husband barely gets bit.

I get more than my share of bites but just normal reactions. For itching that disturbs sleep I use a first aid spray containing benzocaine.
When outside on the deck I’ve been known to drag out the high velocity garage fan to make it harder for them to land on me.

A+ blood type. When I was a kid I never got bit despite being outside ALL the time. My mother is type O and bugs feasted on her. She was also allergic to basically anything she put in her body or on her skin...
As an adult I noticed that I would get bitten more often and have terrible welts that turned into scars. That was when I was drinking heavily and sitting outside with other drinkers socializing during the warmer months. When I stopped drinking I noticed an abrupt decline in bug bites. No idea if alcohol intake is related, but a positive side effect of my going dry has been a major decrease in bug bites. I just did a night kayak tour in basically a swamp and came out with 1 tiny bite on my elbow. I was wearing shorts, tank, PFD, and no bug spray.

I don’t think blood group makes much difference, both DH and I are A, I get chewed to pieces, he rarely get’s bitten.
