I didn’t know exactly where I should post this so mods please feel free to redirect.
I am the biggest mosquito magnet that I know. Ammi used to hold this title and now I’m the “lucky” one.
I’ve tried several types of repellents, creams, sprays and oils but if there is even one mosquito out there, chances are that she will find me and have her fill of blood.
Can we please list all the preventions and cures that you know in this thread so that I can make sure that I’ve truly tried it all??
Re: Insect Bite - Prevention & Cure
^i am exactly the same!! in a large group of people i am the only one that comes away scratching my feet, arms, hands etc, i once woke up with bite on my eyelid and looked like someone had punched me 
. and i have tried all sorts. even the old wives tales of you have too much sugar in your blood, so gave up sugar to no avail, was advised to use a citrus shower gel, again to no avail. so i will be following this closely to see if anyone can come up with anything.
Re: Insect Bite - Prevention & Cure
I have a tendency to be bitten more than others. I have yet to find a fool proof method. I do however try to wear full pants and a thin full shirt when out in the yard or in a park or what not. Have you tried Avon’s Skin So Soft Bath Oil? I heard it repels mosquitos and smells pleasant, works for my mom. Once bitten, try rubbing the bite with inside of a banana peel, helps relieve the itchiness, that works for me.

thanks Afro-Sheen (I always giggle when I see your nick

I’ve heard about the SSS remedy but someone told me that it doesn’t always work. And since I’ve tried much harsher things that didn’t work I figured why bother with SSS. But now I’m willing to try anything.
last weekend we went horse-back riding in the afternoon…not evening even…and I was bitten three times on my thigh right through my jeans!!!
And for after…I’m assuming you mean the inside of a banana peel, right?
