WHY?? I can be with 20 people and not one person but me gets bit. Short, fat, tall, skinny -- all kinds of people. The only ones that get bit are me and my
brothers and sister. AND, my bites last like 2 weeks and itch like a motherfucker. AND benadryl oral or topical does not touch them. Is there something I can
eat or rub all over me to make them NOT bite me?? THIS IS FOR SERIOUS REPLIES ONLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fabric Softener sheets. Swear to God, it worked wonders for me in Brazil.

Avon Skin-So-Soft Bug Guard Plus.
They are suicide bombers, my guess. |

Were you wearing socks? Mosquitoes are attracted to socks.
Also, please go to a lab so you can be tested and probed in the name of science. |

I try to avoid using anything with a fruity smell. It's really fucking hard to find a shampoo that doesn't smell like some kind of fruit. I am a
mosquito magnet too. Somehow I managed to get bitten in March and it was still cold out!

I get eaten up WAY more than anyone else I know too, TC. I remember reading somewhere that mosquitoes are naturally attracted to certain people based on their
scent or something. I donno.
Anyway, it's what makes us special. TC <3 |

Are you allergic to cilantro and green peppers and artificial sweetener too? And by allergic, I mean you just really really hate them more than normal people
and they give you a headache?

Haven't found a way to not have me or the little missus get eaten alive but the thing that works for both of us to control the itch and pain is the good
ole pink calomine lotion with anti itch. Just had to rub up her legs last night. We both welt badly.

Mosquitoes are attracted by perspiration, warmth, body odor, carbon dioxide, and light.

"Mosquitoes are attracted by the carbon dioxide that we - and other
animals - exhale. They may also be attracted by various odors - perfume, perspiration, lactic acid, detergents - that combine in unique ways to make one victim more attractive than another as a meal." google is a friend of mine. |

I wonder if garlic pills would help? I give them to my dogs to keep away ticks and fleas. I wonder if they'd have the same affect on mosquitoes.

I love cilantro (YUMMERZ!), green peppers, and I get BAD BAD stomaches with artificial sweetners.
That's gotta be it. We don't like artificial sweeteners. =O |
