I am eating a lot of fruit and I am getting eaten alive by mosquitos. I think I smell fruity. LOL...

It might be a B12 issue. I've heard that mosquitos are more attracted to bodies with less B12 in them. I am not, however, jumping on the big B12 bandwagon here though, I'm still not sure where I stand on the subject, that was just some information that I heard somewhere on here and thought it might be worth a mention.

hehe, bugs used to love me, too! :D Fear not! B/c while I'm on vacation w/ a mosquito infested population who obviously love my family, I had taken 2 B-complex supplements (12.5mcg of B12 each). I ONLY got bitten once or twice; whereas, my family ugh...whoa, hehe, were practically mosquito food. :rolleyes:

BTW, I read that a person only needs 25 mcg of B12 per week. I don't think it would hurt to give it a try, b/c I think that amount is so miniscule. :o That's up to you though. Whatever works...free will!!!! :D

Bugs have always loved me no matter what I have eaten, meat, no meat, coffee, no coffee. I am always the first one bitten, have the most bites and react poorly to the bites...huge red swelling lumps that ooze. I finally confinced my sweet honey to get a screen room on the back of the house, something I have dreamed of since I was a kid. Now we sit out there and play cards or take a nap on the couch and no bites for me :D

I have heard this as well.
