| Alright, I get raped come mosquito season. Anyone have a way to keep them the hell away from me that a)works and b) doesn’t require me to constantly spray or cover myself with something that smells bad? I already have bites on my cheek, thigh, hand and back of my neck…god damn mosquitoes and it isn’t even WARM yet :whip: :whip: :whip:! I live in Manhattan the concrete jungle and without fail they seek me out. High quality blood I guess… |

whenever i get bit on the face the swelling seems to go down like an hour after.
cause twice it's happened where I'm out and i'm like LOOK I GOT A MOSQUITO BITE ON MY FACE!!! & my friends just think I'm crazy cause nothing is there.
Here's some stuff I read:
Wear light colored clothing, mosquitoes are attracted to dark clothes
Keep your body covered as much as possible (including wearing a hat), although mosquitoes can find their way through the fabric–it does cut down on bites
Use Bounce Fabric Softener Sheets--just wipe on and go. This is great for babies.
Don't eat bananas during mosquito season--mosquitoes love bananas! There is something about how your body processes the banana oil that attracts these female sugar-loving insects. |

| Buy a bottle of skin so soft. Also try not to exhale as their attracted to C02. |

thanks mel :) although for some reason or another not matter what i do i get bites. thankfully the ones here don't carry anything but i'll be careful about visiting some places. like when my mom was a teenager she got malaria while on vacation :nervous: |

that's actually the main thing. mosquitoes only find you by the CO2 you let out. so if you do anything that makes you sweat, your entire body becomes a mosquito magnet. so i guess my only advice if you don't want to use bug spray is to keep as clean and cool as possible. |
