Accompanied with the heat as well as humidity of summer are annoying, itchy, and pesky mosquito bites. Mosquitoes bite because they're attracted to lactic acid and CO2. If you're a living, breathing mammal, you are a
sports goal.
I dislike the mosquito days and have since I was a kid growing up in Florida. I'm tormented by my body's reaction to these small bites that turn into big virtually welt-like, itchy raised bumps on my legs and arms. You can find seasons where running out to get the paper the next day or even taking out the bin has inflicted a couple of bites.
Modern day technology has produced great inventions which include the mosquito magnet along with the bug zapper light bulb (

Apart from putting on topical insect repellent items laced with bad chemicals like DEET that could bring about brain toxicity; there are a few alternative options that have yielded positive results in my battle to defend the extremities of mine from mosquito bites.
Over the years, I have asked myself: what items repel insect bites like mosquitoes? I have obtained items like skin-so-soft and OFF mosquito sprays but have always desired to find a far more natural alternative and solution to these bug bites.
Diet can play a really pivitol part in making oneself less attractive to the mosquitoes. Diets high in garlic (and garlic tablets ) and B complex can in fact replace the extremely faint scent of an individual; thus making oneself much less eye-catching to a hungry mosquito. Garlic literally does repel the vampires. Other herbs that can also be essential in fighting off mosquitoes are: citronella, allspice, thyme, basil, rosemary, cinnamon, pine, lavender, geranium, verbena, cedar, and peppermint.
Vitamin B1 has a unique ability to develop an obnoxious scent which stops mosquitoes in their tracks. Ingested orally every day, an
individual is able to take 15mgs of B1 for each and every 30 pounds of body weight.
It is indeed easy to combat mosquitoes still and naturally enjoy the summer months.
