Hmm, I don't drink and can't get preggers so I must naturally have a lot of this acid because I am a dartboard for these things at dusk or dawn, if I'm out and about.

I’m a chick magnet. Too bad they’re mosquito chicks. They have a thing for my calves and ankles. Must be fetishists.

Same here. Sometimes I think it’s the only reason my wife wants me around in the summer. They swarm me and leave her alone.

I know a guy who puts turmeric in practically everything he eats/drinks — including coffee — because he swears that it not only provides many other health benefits but also keeps mosquitoes away.

I don’t know about that, but having tasted his turmeric coffee ONE time, I can’t rule it out.

I wonder if one becomes a mosquito magnet it they follow Sheryl Crow’s advice on only using three sheets of toilet paper.

Watch out, Pfizer and Gates will come up with an absolute, infallible, sure-fire, insect repellent. Get jabbed now, it’s mandatory!

A long time ago I read a theory that for some reason people with blood type O tended to be more attractive to mosquitoes. I’m O+ and my personal experience has born this out. I can be in a room with 100 people and one mosquito and I’ll get bit three times.

We live next to a small lake. We decided to get mosquito treatments in our yard and around the lake. Works well!

I’m a mosquito magnet as well. My husband and I can be standing side by side outside. He will be mosquito-bite free, and I will have bites all over my body.

When we took the gkids camping over the summer I took over $60 worth of mosquito repellents. We had bracelets, burning sticks, OFF spray, clothes stickers, Murphy’s natural mosquito repellent, and probably a few other things. Our campsite was right at the lake and I didn’t get one bite, so one of those things worked.

Bugs slaughter me.

[nesnah]

I haven’t been bitten in 25 years.

Jack Daniels works and pot smoke helps. A friend told me.

[Seruzawa]

Yep. My wife gets a dozen bites for everyone of mine. Convenient for me.

I’m in Eastern Europe where cookie permissions are required for each article opened. This article holds the record for the most invasive cookies.

I suspect they’re talking carboxylic acids.

In other words, you smell like an armpit.

I used to call my wife a mosquito bite wuss, as we’d all get bitten, but only she’d complain. Then she got West Nile. Was awful.

People who smell like butt never get bit.

"Are you a mosquito magnet? It's because of how you smell."

No, it isn't.

We all smell the same: with our noses.

What this clown -- who flunked Journo 101 -- meant to say is "It's because of your scent/aroma." [pick one]

I had to go on Azathioprine a few yrs ago and haven’t been bitten since
