Mosquitos love me
Mosquitos dislike me 🎉 BUT strawberry flies or horse flies are a whole other nightmare 😫
Garlic only repels vampires. Everyone knows that.
Ginger works great! Two data points. Having had ginger with my sushi in Costa Rica I was the only person not getting bitten when normally I am the Ist target.. Didnt figure out why until the next day when our two guides to a wild reserve in Costa Rica. I asked them why they are not putting on repellant. They said "you see this cup it has unsweetened ginger tea. Works for about 4 hrs. We will drink another cup at lunch & will also have no sweets like breakfast" since then found unsweeten ginger tea works but can't find unsweeten pickeled ginger in USA. Going 2 try Wasabi next time I have the need.
Did anyone hear him saying what REPELS mosquitoes? I didn't.
What if we feed bananas to everyone else at the picnic? Would the mosquitos go after them instead of us?
This title is click bait. The title suggests that the video is about repelling mosquitos. The speaker just goes on and on about food that doesn't repel mosquitoes.
Sulfur
Well, when the grandparents would apply that mentholated rub icy hot, the squitoes would avoid them & double down on us. I don't blame them, hate the smell of the stuff myself!
What about GMO beernananas?
Mosquitos love my blood… I'm the first Target 😭😭
If beer attracts, then B-vitamins would be expected to attract, at least that's what I would expect.
"A randomized double-blind placebo controlled study". So they didn't tell the mosquitoes which humans ate the garlic?
So nothing. No usable information to make mosquitos like you less. Clickbait.
Mosquitoes love me.❤ Must be the the Coumadin.😅
Mosquitos favor type O blood for some reason. Ask me how I know this. 😉

Soooo… No dietary ways to reduce mosquito bites other than avoid bananas and beer.
Approx 12 minutes wasted listening to endless babble about what doesn't work in making mosquitos "like you less".
many years ago I heard that vitamin B Complex would keep the mosquitoes away so I took them for a couple of weeks before a camping trip. The mosquitoes still bit me but I didn't get the usual allergic reaction to the bite. In fact if I had not seen the little bugger biting me I would not have known. I have always been one of their favorite people and get big red welts when bitten.
Let me guess without watching the video: a WhOLe pLaNT BasEd DieT fixes the problem ?
I never got bitten by mosquitoes before I became vegan.
One holiday my husband got bitten over 40 times in one night and I had not one single bite!
Now I get bitten by everything. I tell myself it’s because my blood is nice and clean now and not clogged up with saturated fat 😂
My sister has had the exact same experience since becoming Vegan. Very strange!
Do you ever sleep? Honestly I can't believe how many videos you make every day!
Wearing pants and a long sleeve shirt can help reduce mosquito bites. ✌️
Unfortunately, the only natural product when ingested which seems to repel mosquitoes is strong cigars. But they repel people, too.
