I have often wondered about the various factors that seem to attract mosquitos/bugs to some people more than others. I don't think I attract them more or less than the average person really. I have wondered before if diet, blood type, higher body temperature or blood pressure or other various factors come into play. I wonder if any studies have been done on that. Since the vitamin B-1 seems to work, it would make sense that people who ate more foods that naturally contained that might be bitten less too.

I also have a cedar scented spray that is meant for pets to help naturally repel insects, I may try some of that if I do any deep woods walking too and see if it works. I really hate using things like OFF and would rather use something more pleasant in scent, though I suppose some of those are odorless. I do know I NEVER wear any type of perfume if I'm going to be out in the summer because it attracts bees, wasps, flies etc.
