Can certain blood type attract bugs to bite ?

Possibly: "One study found persons with Type O blood suffered more mosquito landings because of the odorant markers they emit more than any other blood type" See: http://scienceline.org/2007/09/ask-knight-mosquitoes/. It is fascinating to read about this.
