Mosquitoes prefer to bite people who have sweet blood.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
0 sources for · 3 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that mosquitoes prefer to bite people who have sweet blood?

Unclear. The retrieved items do not directly test whether mosquitoes prefer people with sweet blood; the closest sources note that some individuals are more attractive to mosquitoes and attribute this to skin substances or olfactory learning rather than blood sweetness.
