anti-mosquito bite diet

[justanothagirl]

alright so it's supposed to be a myth that when you eat bananas you will attract mosquitos. but 2 days ago i ate 2 bananas and the entire night i was being stalked by this annoying mosquito.

then yesterday i took 2 vitaminB complex pills (which is supposed to repel them) and guess what no mosquitos

thought i would share in case others are bothered by them

Eh. I could see something like this. The way you're skin smells/tastes is highly variable around the foods you consume. Ever wonder why indians smell like curry? (NO INDIAN HATE!) or people who eat too much garlic tend to smell like that?

It's plausable.

It's probably just the sugars in the banana. I used to get swarmed on when i ate lots of sugar. Don't eat any sugar, and eat garlic=no mosquitos.

soooooo







you are basing your entire theory on a single mosquito?

[seanb1979]

It's true that garlic will help fend them off. You don't even really need much.

i think some people are also predisposed to attracting mosquitoes, because i know everyone is different. I don't even get the welt when mosquitoes bite me, nothing happens, i just swat 'em. But if a good friend of mine and i stand in the same mosquito infested area, he is attacked much more than i am. So i think its more than just a diet thing.
