Gene, I think you know the effects of alcohol in the
body/blood...lol...perhaps you have alcoholic mosquitoes there at
Heartwood? hehe

Nah, their driving is too straight.

Mosquitos see differently than people. They look for heat-warm blooded
folks. You may just have a higher metabolic rate than most people.

Alas, true. Chris calls me the French furnace. Gets me good snuggling in the winter. But in the summer . . . "it's too darn hot!"

During recent research I found that mosquitos find us, and other mammals, by the carbon dioxide we exhale. So when I go outside to pee at night I hold my breath. The experiment continues.

Probably,
your best bet is to apply lotions, creams, or simply use mud to repel
skeeters..

I use all of the above except mud. Avon has a Deet-like spray that is safe to apply direct to your skin.

Imagine how the settlers suffered "in the good old days!"
