  Here in NC it's about like usuall, I get bit several times if I go out for a while. I wear shorts all summer and they like my legs. I have to wear repellant if I sit in my swing in the evening. I hate the little critters.

  OK, mosquitos...
  Bob, a fisherman, takes one vitamin B-1 tablet a day,
  April through October . He said it works. He was right.
  Hasn't had a mosquito bite in 33 years. Try it.
  Every one he has talked into trying it says it works on them.
  Vitimin
  B-1( Thiamine Hydrochloride 100 mg.)
  
  If you eat bananas,
  the mosquitos like you, - something about the banana oil
  as your body processes it.
  Stop eating bananas for the summer and the mosquitos
  will be much less interested.

  This is going to floor you, ....one of the best insect repellents found
  (by someone who is in the woods every day)
  is Vick's Vaporub.

  Plant marigolds around the yard, the flowers give off
  a smell that bugs do not like,
  so plant some in that garden also to help ward
  off bugs without using insecticides.

  "Tough guy" Marines who spend a great deal of time
  "camping out" say that the very best mosquito
  repellant you can use isAvon Skin-So-Soft bath oil mixed about
  half and half with alcohol.

  One of the best natural insect repellants that I've discovered
  is made from the clear real vanilla. This is the pure Vanilla that is
  sold
  in Mexico. It works great for mosquitoes and ticks,
  don't know about other insects.

  Here the mosquitoes usually are out in the evening for a few hours and then they go to bed.
  
  So after dark they are fewer.
  
  But they really are a pest I dont like. They spoil alot of fun.
  
  But they have got me thinking about the blood issue though.
  
  Just how bad is the drinking of blood? All the animals who eat meat also like blood.
  
  Mosquitoes are sucking the fresh blood out of bodies and then they get eaten by birds, returning the blood to the ground eventually to fertilize the plants and become our food again to build our blood up.
  
  Anyway, when I think of mosquitoes I think of the Watchtower Society.
