Question:

I get bit by mosquitoes alot what can I do to not attract them?


Answers:

Mosquitoes are attracted to heat and for some reason dark clothing. There are a couple of ways to be less attractive (to mosquitoes that is). The first one has to do with heat...if you have a heat source near you that is hotter than you are (say...a camp fire or a heavier sweatier friend) the mosquitoes will gravitate towards that. The second suggestion is to wear lighter clothing and if you don't mind going chemical...a little DEET works wonders. There is another suggestion that you may find a bit odd but it works...drink vinegar. I know it sounds gross (and in fact is) but it has to do with the acid and alkaline levels in your blood stream. Mosquitoes will steer clear of anyone who drinks vinegar (it's good for your immune system too). Hope this helps.
