5 NEW THINGS YOUR BLOOD TYPE SAYS ABOUT YOU
By prevention.com
There's a lot your blood can say about you and
a lot it can't. Search the web, and
you'll dig up articles tying one of the four major blood types (A, B, AB, O) to
everything from diet dos and don'ts to partner compatibility. But there's just not a lot of research to back
up those claims.
On the other hand, some solid research has
linked different blood types to higher rates of certain diseases and there are
other, subtler ways your blood may affect your life:
1. Your
allure for mosquitoes
People with blood type O may be up to twice
as likely to attract certain species of mosquitoes than people with other blood
types, finds a study from Japan's Institute of Pest Control Technology. But it's not all bad news for O's: Other research
shows you're less likely to suffer from the deadliest forms of malaria—a
disease transmitted by mosquitoes—possibly because deadly malarial proteins
don't stick to type O blood cells the way they do to other types.
