Mosquitoes never bit me for many years as a vegetarian. Now I’m eating some meat and getting lots of bites. Coincidence or not?
It could mean your blood has more of the delicious amino acids they need? Or, are you eating so much meat that you start to sweat?
No
What’s a cheap way to keep mosquitoes away from me?
Never go outside! If you have to, though, The New York Times told us yesterday about “A Low-Tech Mosquito Deterrent.” Spoiler, it’s fans. The solution is a fan. Entomologists at Michigan State published findings in the Journal of Medical Entomology that said, “We recommend that fan-generated wind should be pursued as a practical means of protecting humans or pets from mosquitoes in the backyard setting.”
I have very weak collagen in my skin. Sometimes even a light breeze will displace the skin from my body like tissue paper.
Stay away from fans!
GE also makes yellow “bug lights” that you can use on your porch, which don’t attract mosquitoes like incandescent bulbs do.
