Why humans attract mosquitoes
Article Toolsby Gwen Stewart
The bloodsucking little human Termites have struck again! 45 times last night! I have to stay out of those places! For some reason these little human termites loves to bite me! I've asked the doctor(s) (and there have been a few..) why I seem to be a target for mosquitoes. Each one have a different answer, stop wearing cologne, Don't eat sweets as it pigments from your skin. Drink more water, sweat causes them to bite more, and the best ... its only your imagination! What seems to other animals as off limits gets devoured by mosquitoes!. So I highly recommend body pest spray. No not the Avon oily stuff as they hit you and stay hit (or glued to you). I mean the spray. It't the only way I can keep the little buggers off me! I tried to wear long sleeves, jeans, boots. Hey its July here, that means car seat belts are branding irons! So Short pants/short sleeves are in. Pests sprays keeps the mosquitoes off.
