Great tip for today! The mosquitoes just run for me everytime I go outside, it's like I am a magnet for them. Yesterday I forgot to wear my OFF fan wear on thingy I bought recently, which works here, and they just about killed me in my legs. So, this morning I went shopping for some stuff for the itching. Now with this lists I will get some more stuff!!
What about something you can , maybe drink, so that you are not a magnet for them?? Is there such a thing??

The mosquito's that fly through Las Vegas don't even make a 1 second touchdown at the Airport.

Even flies are hard to come by here. I had three little ones fly into my house a couple weeks ago. Since you don't see that many of them, if they make it into the house, you almost want to adopt them as pets and feed them. When they die, you give them a proper burial.

And they're weird, but nice, flies. I've occasionally seen them flying around the room, but they don't land on me. Am I that intimidating?

I come from MN. I will keep these lists in mind if I travel back there in summer some time.

I'm going to have to try that. I hate the repellants, they're almost worse than getting the bites. Maybe witch hazel would b a little kinder to my skin.
