Answers:
From what I know about mosquitos they have many senses to track targets, here's an excerpt from the wiki article:

"The female mosquitoes locate their next blood donor victims primarily through scent. They are extremely sensitive to the carbon dioxide in exhaled breath, as well as several substances found in sweat and various body odours. They are believed to be able to track potential prey for tens of meters. Some people attract more mosquitoes than others, apparently based on how they "smell" to a mosquito. Mosquitoes can also detect heat, so they can find warm-blooded mammals and birds very easily once they get close enough."

I've always thought that since I'm a very heavy guy I put off more heat, more carbon dioxide (heavy breathing), and more scent (sweat). Maybe you're the opposite or they just find better targets around you?
well it could be melds
if you eat garlic or take garlic pills bugs will not bit you its like a natural bug repellent cool right
i eat lots of garlic to aint getting bit and i like that
I have heard that mosquitoes stay away from people with A negative blood.
I'm kind of interested in what products4fitness had to say about what they heard about A- blood. I have A- blood and I don't get bit by misquitos either.

Maybe there is some truth to this.
Maybe your blood isn't tasty enough for the mosquito. I am the same way. When me and my sister are together, she gets all of the mosquito bites and not me.
