Strange question about mosquitoes?

[Supersizeme310]

Is anyone else here highly attractive to mosquitoes? My wife and I have a horse farm and I get eaten alive!!!! No joke, and my wife is convinced it's because the amount of vitamins I take.

Anyone else deal with this?

I found some stuff on folic acid being a component.

I read somewhere that it's a proven fact that some people do attract mosquitos more than others!

I'd like to know about this too. My problem is with
NO SEE UM'S (gnats with teeth the size of sharks.)
Problem is I'm the only one who's getting eaten alive by
these nasty little bastards in our condo.............

 

[monkeybizniz]

yes!!!!! i'm like a frickin mosquito magnet.....no joke. my wife and i will be sitting in room or on our deck and she will not get a single bit while i get eaten alive. there is for sure something to them being attracted to certain people's scent.

Yep , they eatbthe shit out of me but the bites only itch and welp up for maybe 2 min then their gone while the wife and kids have wleps and itch for days after.

add a fair amount of garlic to your diet and that will cut them back some as well as beer , apparently when the garlic and beer is secreated through your skin they don't like it.

The little fuckers are acutaly attracted by CO2 so if you hold your breath they won't bug you so bad .

I use Vanilla extract as part of my bug protection when i deer hunt , the deer don't mind it and the bugs don't like it and it works fair. Our deer season starts in october down here and its often in the 80 till November so you can't exactly use clothes as a barrier.

(This ain't no shit)
Victoria's Secret has a body spray call "Amber Romance" that is actualy a great bug repelent especialy for gnats , I fouind out about it last year coaching T-ball , of of the kids had a skin condition that would not allow any type of bug spray to be used but his mome coated him with this stuff and it worked great , poor little guy smelled like a nasty hooker trying to hide somthing but he dien't mind

That garlic bit does not work for me I love garlic. I eat garlic with almost everything.

Does nothing for keeping the bugs away only the wife.

I knew I had just come across an article about this.

hate those little beasts from hell...

I constantly get bitten by these little bitches while nobody else around me gets bitten even once. Happens all the time so Im just used it by now.

Amber Romance from Victorias Secret definitely works. Used it many times. You smell like an army of chicks but you dont get bitten as much.

Heard a rumor that if you take lots of B vitamins (such as B1 and B complex) they will leave you alone since they dont like the taste of it in your blood. But you have to start this remedy a few days before it actually starts to work. Know people who swear by it. On the opposite spectrum, if you like sugar and your blood is "sweet" they will be on you like a fly on shit. Maybe thats why they like me. Ive always had a bit of a sweet tooth...

I find that my potent body odor shield insulates me from all forms of blood sucking pests, including the human variety.

LOL Wow...another good BB post.

Mosquitos really love to bite me, too, much more than my wife. Down in Brazil, they have more stealthy mosquitos, and they would have nearly made a smorgasbord out of me had I not discovered that one of the two Axe deodorants I had (yes, I had two, used each on different days) seemed to repel them.
