<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I originally asked if any other list members were rejected by mosquitoes as I am and if any one could offer an explanation for why. I got 52 responses. Here's the break down: 22 said they are very resistant to mosquito bites 12 said they get bites like everyone else Explanations offered: 2 said eating dairy products attracks them (I eat no dairy) 2 said that eating red meat attracts them (I eat lots of red meat) 4 said eating sugar attracks them (I eat very little sugar) 1 said eating peanuts and bananas attracts them 1 said tanned skin repells insects 2 said high levels of B vitamins repells them 3 said eating garlic repells them (I do cook with garlic) 1 said eating onions repells them (I eat lots of onions) 1 said smoking repells them 1 said that eating high sulfer foods repells them (I eat a lot of high sulfer foods http://wij.free.fr/soufre.txt ) 1 said Tacoma mosquitos are dumber than else where (hmmmm.......) Finally, I'll conclude with my favorite comment offered by Barbara: "Could be gluten intolerance. Finally, maybe a perk from this insidious disorder."
