I’ve always wondered why I seemed to be the object of an inordinate amount of bites. Now I know. It’s Bush’s fault. I should have guessed.

Thanks - and will be passing it around. I’m usually not bothered by mosiquitos - or other bugs. On a recent trip though they were especially thick. However, I found that if I was within 20 feet of this one guy they would leave me alone! He was swatting at them like crazy! (Literally crazy - I thought he was going to have a breakdown!!)

He did seem a bit out of shape and breathing heavy a lot of the time.

And my favorite repellent - a Camel cigarette or a cheap cigar! (Last used 15 years ago - sigh.....)

They LOVE me. Got sick as a dog after going through Eastern Germany and made a couple of coffee stops.....git bitten up one side and down the other. This is the stuff I use. They don't seem to want to even land on me when I wear it...and no greasy feel. Plus, it smells great! Contains PURE lavender...not the fake stuff.

I am one of those bug magnets. Not only mosquitoes but flies and wasps. I hate the bugs!

"People with high concentrations of steroids or cholesterol on their skin surface attract mosquitoes,"

Well that seems to include almost everybody then.

I think Mosquitoes don't care for smokers.

As one such mosquito magnet, I have noticed that they’ve not bugged me as much since I’ve lost weight. I do consider it a service to mankind everytime I smack one of them.
