Why do mosquitos love me?!
Question: Why do mosquitos love me!?
It's getting to be that season again here in Connecticut, they're comming out and will be for a god damn while!. But I don't understand why they come after ME!. I never even wear shorts anymore, one year I counted over 70 bug bites on just my legs!. Not through the whole year, at ONE TIME!. I was watching a movie, got bored, looked down and counted them!. About 73!. That was the worst it ever was but they LOVE ME WHY!?! I'm 15, weigh 160!. Even balance between muscle and fat!. More muscle than fat!. It sucks!. Anyone have any ideas!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well your sweating issue and mosquitos have little to do with each other!. I've often wondered why they like me too!. I have very thin blood, which could make it easier for them but they can't detect the blood!. It's a scent that you give off!. All you can do is conceal the scent!. Someone recently recommended trying tea tree oil!. You can get it at a health food store!. Never apply it full strength!. Put about 10 drops in a spray bottle with about a 1/2 cup of water and spray your legs, arms and hair!. I'm going to try it this year!. The only other thing is a bug spray with deet, but deet is bad for you if you get it on your skin!. I recently read an article that scientists are working on new non toxic formulas based on pepper oil and are seeing some success, but any commercial product is a few years off!. Other non-toxic options are sprays using citronella and other oils, but I don't like the scent and they don't work for me!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
the reason is the smell on your body, make this experiment:
go out with socks and sandals, wait till You see that most mosquitos prefer the feet rather than the rest of the body!.
Some people have an odour like limburger cheese in their feet, if You buy this chees You'll certainly know what I'm talking about!.
With a soap containing an antibacterial coat the problem seems to diminish!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Research shows that mosquitos bite you because of the smell you give off!. People who are bitten less frequently, or not at all, emit chemicals that repel mosquitoes!. Mosquitoes recognize these smells as something they would not like to feast on and fly to someone else!. Some also say that its the color of clothing you wear!. Hope this helps!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
as weird as it sounds eat more bananas I cant explain why it helps but Ive noticed a big difference in the amount of bites that I use to get since I was told that!. It doesn't stop completely but it definitely helps!. and use bug spray of course muskol is bestWww@Answer-Health@Com
you could be really healthy- with rich blood!.!.!. and the blood is drawing them to you!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I know it is still a big inconvenience but try Un-scented sprays!. & dont wear any perfume, scented lotions, or sweat scented deoderant!.
Also, If the sweating is out of control!.!.!. believe Botox injections (in the arm pits) will reduce sweating, but you will have to GOOGLE it &/or consult a physician!.
FYI: You will prolly hate me, but!.!.!. I'm just the opposite, my body is very acidic for some reason & bugs wouldn't touch me wth a 10ft pole!. I don't know if it's a diet thing or what, but I drink alot of O!.J!. Good Luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
