I’m tired of mosquitos biting me. If i can’t stop them biting me, the next best thing is to stop them biting me a second time. So what’s the best (safe for me) way to make myself poisonous to mosquitos, and optionally other bugs that might bite me?

    I think sugar makes you more attractive to mosquitoes. I know from first-hand experience that if you’re always hung over, and you smoke cigarettes, then the city mosquitos will leave you alone. The high country mosquitos don’t give a fuck though, they’ll take whatever they can get. Otherwise you want 97% DEET. Don’t bother with any other stuff, it doesn’t work. 97% DEET! Someone’s going to come along and say “nooo, skin so soft mixed with water repels mosquitoes!”. They’re liars. 97% DEET.
