Does it help to keep the mosquitoes from biting you or does it kill them after they bite you?
I am a huge attraction for mosquitoes, think it's my blood type, I've always (even as a little kid) got eaten up by them every summer. I'm about tired of it to be honest, lol.
Come to think about it, I've been taking ivermectin for the last few days and not one bite while out gardening 🤔 I live in the south and as soon as it got warm, they started biting me, but last few days nothing... ✊on🪵
LOUISIANA HOT SAUCE WORKS WONDERS also...Spread that stuff on everything and NO BITES @ ALL!!!!!!!!!....guess is the capsaicin in the sauce...😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
I had an interesting issue this year. My in-ground liner pool started leaking and it appears it finally failed and needs re-lined. I don't have the money right now, at least until I can finally get a job after a long lay-off. I just left it leak until the shallow end was completely dry, and the 9' deep end has about 5' of (green) water.
Well, the frogs around us moved in, had a TON of fun... and we ended up with probably around 200 tadpoles. Before the tadpoles showed up I was getting mosquito bites all the time. Then I noticed that the tadpoles would come up to the surface to breathe, and I guess they were also eating mosquito larvae (since mosquitos breed in standing water). They sounded like it was raining when so many would come to the surface, gulp air, and dive. Ever since the tadpoles showed up I haven't seen any mosquitos - I assume the adults died and the larvae was eaten.
What's really cool though is they have started transforming into little 1/2 to 1" frogs. When I take my dogs out at night I sneak over to the pool slowly and watch the liner in the (dry) shallow end pop with frogs jumping in the water. It's neat to see over a hundred frogs that look like those old Mexican jumping beans hopping into the water at the same time.
I thought I was hosed this year because the family of bats we used to have living under our shed awning (size of a carport roof) moved out. They ate all the mosquitos the previous years, but they left and no more have found us and moved in yet. The awning/roof is shaped in a way that bats tend to like to live there. Maybe next year - if I can finally get a job with all these layoffs. Oh yeah - don't think my wife likes the frogs, or thinks they are cute.
I am O-, I’m assuming it may be because of the lack of sugar or something then. I always have to use bug spray when camping but every time I’m doing that diet I don’t have to worry about it at all, they just go after my wife.

Neither. Iver kills the parasites, which the mosquito injects.
So the mosquito is injecting Bill Gates?
Kyekkity
yes
I eat more garlic than the average person, and I usually do not have problems with mosquito bites.
Think vampire :)
Garlic and vitamin b1. Works for our family for mosquitoes but more importantly it seems to help with keeping ticks from latching on.

Keep us posted.
Is your blood type b+? if it is it might add credibility to blood types. i always get eaten by mosquitoes but my dad, not a touch.
No, I'm O-
O- here too, and I am a mosquito magnet.
well there goes my theory...
I am a very juicy target too. I've found vitamin B complex wards them off very nicely. I think it also keeps ticks from digging in.

BEST FROG POST OF THE YEAR 🐸🐸🐸

🎶 one jumped into the pool, where it was nice and cool 🎶 🐸 🪵
I noticed while on the carnivore diet that I never get bitten anymore, I need to do some looking into if that’s a thing or if it’s just a coincidence.
It is not. I am vegetarian (since age 15) (over 50 now) and mosquitos never bother me. Type A+

I'm not sure it's a blood type thing. I'm o+ as is most of my family, I rarely get bit, they get served for supper.
I'm O- and I've always gotten bitten, my husband is from PR and mosquitoes don't really bother him at all. 😏
I'm A+ and a veritable magnet for them, even when lathered in OFF. I thought it was hormones or the pheromones one gives off.
The ultimate “gotcha bitch” 🚫🦟

Classic 😀👍
I have a runoff pond full of fish ...they eat the skeeter larve
