This is a silly question...but was curious.

I am Rh O negative.

I know less than 10% of the population have this ( I think? )

Anybody have any ideas or opinions on this??

Interesting question.

I don't know my blood type.

But I have often thought that what people eat has an effect on how attractive they are or are not to bugs.

I should think this would have a scientific answer to it. Blood chemistry, body odors, and how that attributes to the attraction or not of bugs.

Take Care,
Carol
