O-negative is one of the more common ones, I think, so that hypothesis is shot. Moving on... It's just that a friend of mine used to repel mosquitos. She has a rare blood type. I assume the mosquitos kind of didn't know what she was, whether or not to eat her. Oh, one more thing: you say ticks fall off of you. Why do you get ticks on you in the first place, where are you spending your time? I can't remember the last time I got a tick, just saying.
I'm an outdoorsy kind of girl. Boating, hiking, camping when I can. I've had them crawl on me, but I don't think one's ever attached. I still think it's my garlic usage. Seriously - garlic on all the things.
Oh - plus our house backs right up to the woods - kids and husband and dogs get the occasional tick, but not I.

Here, there and everywhere.
I like the idea of summer, but must agree with those of you who said that in reality, summer sucks! The head, humidity, hurricanes, sweaty people with too much skin exposed and their stinky feet in flip flops - ick!

What I do like about summer: honey bees, my daughter's home all day, watermelon, and sno-balls. Oh - and if it's summer that means the next season is Fall - my favorite!
