Lots of solutions work … temporarily and for certain circumstances and for people of certain biologies.

There is research that says that some people just naturally attract more mosquitoes than others. I remember reading a few places a long time ago that said that it ranged about one in seven people attract more than others. I think I am one of those seven because I remember being frustrated as a teen with my friends. We all came from the same background, did the same things, tolerated the same things but for whatever reason, more mosquitoes bothered me than any of them. I changed my diet, changed my shampoo, didn’t shower for a week or more, changed clothing, changed detergent … nothing worked so I just accepted it. Years later, read about how some people attract more mosquitoes than others and it made sense.

So if you do go out there and do your best to avoid the insects … don’t be discouraged that you turn out to be the one that attracts more than others … sometimes it just works out that way.
