Mosquitoes. Do they leave you alone????  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 100/100. arkaf61 (5809)   ranked 39 out of 32,950 in life 5 years ago

I don't know about you but those pesky things don't leave me alone for one minute.
I can be surrounded by many people. They might be wearing perfume, colors that attract mosquitoes, they could even have a sign saying " Mosquitoes, bite me!" But hey, it's me that will get all the bites.
I've hears many reasons for this, but have no idea if they're true or not, all I know is that they always come to me LOL
What about you? DO they gang up to bite you or leave you alone?

They leave me alone for the most part. I rarely get bitten and if I do it's only or two. I have friends that get bitten like 50 times in one night! Incredible!

But I heard rumors when I was in Indonesia of what attracts mosquito's. I heard if you eat a lot of banana's you will be their prime target. Whatever they to your skin or maybe the smell attracts them.

But if you eat a lot of spicy food it repells them! They don't like spicy. I usually eat a ton of spicy food...jalepeno's on everything!! So maybe there is a little truth to that statement.

Hmmmmm I think I will try the spicy stuff. I like it anyways so it just looks like a great option LOL

I know how you feel I just recently got swarmed by the little pests, at a family BBQ the other day. I have bites from head to toe, one thing that takes the itch out is just plain old butter and salt, it has been in my family for generations, ever since my great grandfather had his drugstore.


myLot reputation of 100/100. arkaf61 (5809)   ranked 39 out of 32,950 in life  5 years ago

butter and salt.... I'm ready to try anything for sure.

Sadly mosquitoes attack me , and the leave huge red welts on me. Think I am allergic to the suckers. I try to stay inside as much as possible when they are around .


myLot reputation of 100/100. arkaf61 (5809)   ranked 39 out of 32,950 in life  5 years ago

Unfortunately I like the outdoor stuff a lot. I love to go on hikes on the woods , camping and canoing... so I can't get away from them.. just need something that works getting them away from me LOL

No they do not lol. Mosquitoes have their seasons too so sometimes they bother me not at all. Other times, they kept biting me.

It is no fun at all when they get playful.


myLot reputation of 100/100. arkaf61 (5809)   ranked 39 out of 32,950 in life  5 years ago

WEll at least you have some respite.. that's lucky enough for me:) I get bitten all the time, even when they're not supposed to be around LOL

Perhaps your blood is sweet enough to attract the mosquitoes :P

Perfume or any decordant and colored clothes is one factor for attracting insects especially if the weather is humid and the body feels warm and sticky.

I have heard that if you take bittergourds regularly, mosquitoes will take you as strangers and not become friendly with you, not to mention kiss. True or not, I leave it to you to decide. I did not test it out. Perhaps mosquitoes does not like the smell of bittergourd.


myLot reputation of 100/100. arkaf61 (5809)   ranked 39 out of 32,950 in life  5 years ago

Yes I heard that some scents put them off, I just need to find the right one for me LOL

I am like you. Whenever my hubby, kids & I go somewhere, I am the one that looks like I've gotten some mysterious disease afterwards. The dang things won't touch my hubby or kids..lol. My husband says it's because my blood is so sweet..yea right.

Bugs like me. Especially for a snack. Like with you, they may not bother anybody else..but they'll bite the heck outta me.

I've a better deal with animals I guess..animals even normally unfriendly ones are usually like new friends whenever I meet them. Crawlies? Insects, arachnids..they either just wanna ignore me, or they wanna eat me lol.


myLot reputation of 100/100. arkaf61 (5809)   ranked 39 out of 32,950 in life  5 years ago

LOL I would love if they ignore me, but they're fixated in eating me hehe

myLot reputation of 100/100. arkaf61 (5809)   ranked 39 out of 32,950 in life  5 years ago
