Bzzzzzzzzz. Ugh, mosquito time is here. For the six people who actually read this, a friend of mine sent some tips for keeping the little blood suckers at bay:
Use Bounce Fabric Softener Sheets...Best thing ever used in Louisiana...just wipe on & go...Great for Babies
Bob, a fisherman, takes one vitamin B-1 tablet a day April through October. He said it works. He was right. Hasn't had a mosquito bite in 33 years. Try it. (Supposedly everyone he has talked into trying it works on them. Vitamin B-1 (Thiamine Hydrochloride 100 mg.) )
If you eat bananas, the mosquitoes like you--something about the banana oil as your body processes it. Stop eating bananas for the summer and the mosquitoes will be much less interested.
This is going to floor you, but one of the best insect repellents someone found (who is in the woods every day), is Vick's Vaporub.
"Tough guy" Marines who spend a great deal of time "camping out" say that the very best mosquito repellant you can use is Avon Skin-So-Soft bath oil mixed about half and half with alcohol.
E-Mail me if any of these work for you, or if you have any other tips.
