In reply to Tracy Tugwell. Lavender is also said to be very relaxing. Hopefully it doesn’t work because you’re so relaxed you just don’t care you got bit. ????

In reply to Sharon. Some people would probably have to stay in the shower all day and all night with the bar of soap.

In reply to Tracy Tugwell. Thank you so much for this! I’m so scared of being bit and I see so much mix talk. I’m also O+ and my husband is like a natural mosquito repellent hahaha he never gets bit… I get it all. I will definitely give the lavender a try!

In reply to Tracy Tugwell. I read a study where products were tested to see which would work the best against being bitten by mosquitos and the best product was PALMER'S Cocoa Butter Formula Daily Skin Therapy Body Lotion. Give that a try.

I understand that mosquitos thrive in hot, moist and humid climates. However, when I spent a week in a pueblito in the mountains in Oaxaca, I was persecuted by mosquitos! I guess that they were mosquitos, but I did not see them. In the US, mosquitos are very obvious. One hears them at night, when one is trying to sleep, and they can be seen. They tell me that the mosquitos in Oaxaca are very small, and not easily seen. But some insect ate me alive.

I have found that washing the bitten area with soap and water works for me. It takes away the sting almost immediately.

I always seem to be a special dish to mosquitos. I’ve heard O+ blood is their favorite. My first spring and summer in Puerto Peñasco, Sonora was last year and at first I was suffering. I always eat a lot, I mean A LOT, of onions and garlic, but that wasn’t getting it. I always heard the scent of lavander worked. I dislike flowery smells. I prefer spicy ones like vanilla, cinnamon and such but I tried it. It worked! I bought lavander oil and put it at my pulse points and places I often get bit. Not only did mosquitos keep their distance but flies tended to also (another bug that bugs me!). So give it a go. It worked for me and that’s saying something!
