“No-See-Em” time down here in FL. The only thing that really works is the old Avon Skin so Soft.
Makes sense that Mosquitoes would be drawn to places full of people who don’t wash much....
I read a story about a big construction project in Africa that was having a problem with lions attacking and eating the workers. It turned out that the lions would shun the smokers because it permeated their flesh and didn’t taste good to them. After some time passed cigarettes were in short supply.
Thanks, I needed a chuckle!
However, I've been bitten by fire ants and bees....and, on many an occasion, I was bit by late-afternoon gnats on my Florida patio.
So there must be at least something on me for some critter or another to love, LOL.

Deep Woods Off can also be used to clean headlight lens that are discolored!
Skin So Soft. . .may need to think again.

Vitamin B-O.
I’ll put acetone on my legs if it means zero no-see-ems.
Not really, I'm fully aware of the contents of Skin so Soft. My issue is that it smells so pungeant that hookers don't even use it anymore...............
I have used a lot of garlic in my lifetime. It doesn’t seem to help me fend off mosquitoes. They LOVE me! If I am outside, anyone in the vicinity is SAFE! They’ll come to me exclusively. My mother-in-law always says when we arrive at her house in VA in the early spring that we have gotten there ahead of the mosquitoes, but it seems that all I have to do is open the car door and they greet me in droves. I just returned from there with dozens of mosquito bites and this time...poison ivy! Aren’t I lucky!
As far as I know I’ve never been bitten by mosquitoes so in my opinion, mosquitoes can’t bite through steel. :-)
Hold it right there, no real man could do that....
Also avoid milk ...
I have a mosquito net over my bed. Wife hates it, but I tell her, quit leaving the doors open. They always bite me and never my wife. 2am and here comes the buzzing and biting!
Just put your beer goggles on and they are all beautiful!
hahaha! okay... that caused me to guffaw! :)
If they know which microbes are not attractive to mosquitoes, they can culture the microbes (like making yogurt), and sell it as a topical application.
If anyone finds this product available, please let us Freppers know about it.
