I have heard the vitamin B12 helps protect against
mosquitos, but I don't recall why. (Salt too) Could be if
you are getting more meat you are getting more B12. By the
way, I have not noticed any reduction in mosquito bites,
compared to my wife and kids, I always get fewer, but that
was true before I started neanderthin, so that is not it.
Some people just smell better to a mosquito.

One SPECULATION I have is that since mosquitos also eat
nectar from flowers, they like sugary blood as well? Is this
silly? I don't know whether the sugar concentration of blood
ever gets high enough to make that kind of difference.
