Keep mosquitos away
Missy K. in Maine -
I read somewhere that the reason mosquitos are attracted to a person is because of a lack of vitamin B6 in our body. The B6 vitamin is found in fresh raw vegetables.
Maybe that's why mosquitos bother some people more than others?

Mosquito bites remedy
Mark in sugarhill, mo -Soak a cotton ball in vinegar and apply to the bite to relieve the itch. They say that mosquitos don't like the smell of oranges and onions. Rub over the exposed areas of your body to avoid them.
Avoid wearing clothing that is damp or colored blue. Avoid leaving standing water around your house. They also say that Bounce fabric softener sheets, repel mosquitos, only the original smell as far as I know.
Plant the herb tansy, or basil, in sunny spots near your doors. Mosquitos do not like the smell.
