I am a kind of person that musquito usally disturbs alot and after that, my body will be affected what do i do
if a mosquito should bite me now i will begin to scratch my body to the extent that my body will peel. i am tired of this, i need a way out because i want my body to be smooth at all times.
Answers:
Use insect repellant like Off or something like that. . . also try burning citronella candles in the yard when you are outside.
Move into a bubble and never come out
Get some OFF bug repellant.
Hand a notice board around your neck saying no entry,, or with a danger sign
I was once recommended tea tree oil or lavender oil to soothe insect bites, these apparently act as repellant too. I can think of much worse things than lavender to smell of!
Mosquitoes are attracted to sweet smells and sweet people. I know this because my poor 2 year old son has the same reaction. I know bug sprays are nasty ..Avon makes Skin So Soft bosy spray that works.(no I dont sell it). As far as the smooth at all times..I dont think anyone has that but a newborn baby
PERFUME AND SWEETS attract them most watch what you eat and wear
You may be allergic to insect bites. When I get bitten by anything, I get huge welts and my eyes and throat swell shut. You need to use an insect repellent like Off and you should probably stay indoors.
Use insect repellent all the time- try avon skin so soft since it doesn't smell too bad to humans. take garlic pills or eat lots of garlic. Mosquitos don't like it. If you get a bite use anti itch cream on it right away, and continue to use it until it's gone. Sorry you have such a hard time with those little things- I really hate them too!
avoid wearing dark clothing and perfumes which attract them. Avon makes a product called skin so soft that has a natural repellent in it if you Can buy some of that - it might help.. and once bitten - take an antihistamine which will control the itching
My friend in the landscaping business recommends the citronella "plant".We just rub the leaves on our arms & legs and the squitos stay away. I also use an oatmeal bath to relieve itching when I get bitten Hope this helps
I suffer from the same fate. When mosquito season hits, I am usually the first person to get a bite. My body reacts pretty harshly with terrible sweeling, horrific itching for sometimes over a week, and awful scarring..until I finally found a mild solution.
I'm not sure how fond you are of alternative medicine, but a friend who is suggested to me a couple of years ago to begin every year on January first to take Vitamin B. One caplet a day, until the mosquito season starts. I guess the chemistry of your body changes.like the smell that the mosquito smells. That's how it was explained to me. At the end of the summer you stop taking the vitamin B.
I don't know how it works, but it has worked for me for about 3 or 4 years now. It's not 100%, but the most I'll get bitten is 2 maybe 3 times.and the reaction doesn't last more than 2 days.
If that doesn't work, you can try non drowsy benadryl , which heals it faster, or you can try claritin if the itching reaction gets really bad. (But those two can make you drowsy.even if they say that it's non-drowsy!)
Try taking Oudourless Garlic pills a couple of weeks before traveling, insects are repelled and shouldnt bother you, good luck
try useing off it is good for makeing bugs go away. all you have to do is spray it all over you. ok. so good luck with that.
I noticed you got a lot of useful answers already; I have tried nearly all those suggestions but the mozzies here are immune to every kind of skinguard I have tried. It keeps them off for a few minutes but then they bite away. I am wary of applying more, as it could be harmful. I use mosquito coils in the home; but a lot of people don't like the smell. Now you can buy scentless chemicals which run on electricity or batteries, they are quite effective. I don't know if you can get them where you live though.
I tried Vitamin B supplements, but they didn't help. Nor did eating a lot of Marmite! Garlic didn't help either. They say that mosquitoes are attracted to dark colours, especially red and black. Wearing white might help.
Make sure there is no stagnant water around and cut the lawn short, cut or pull out weeds. Avoid shady places. If you can put up with the heat, wear long sleeves and long pants, in a light natural fabric and light colour. I found a great hat at the DIY centre 2 years ago; it is like a straw safari hat, but has a fine net you can pull over your face and shoulders for protection. As it is only the female mosquitoes that want your blood, don't give them the pleasure of propogating (another reason to remove any stagnant water) (However, if you have a pond then goldfish or killifish will eat mosquito larvae, so don't worry about fish ponds.) Alcohol attracts them too; if you drank a lot the previous night, try to de-tox before going out into mosquito zones. People with diabetes 2 seem to be popular targets too. As for the essential oils; the ones mentioned didn't help me but peppermint oil did briefly. Like a skinguard, it fades quickly, but I feel happier reapplying it than a chemical spray. Once bitten, grab some aloe vera juice (straight off the plant, or ready made in a tube), and apply liberally. It should ease the discomfort before you claw yourself apart. Good luck! It's such a horrid problem, isn't it?
Apparently mosquitoes are attracted to body odour, and don't wear dark colours because they'll seek you out and hunt you down if you do.
Also, if you have sensetive skin, you should try finding some mosquito patches; they're basically patches you can stick anywhere you want. I suggest you put them on the inside of sleeves, etc, if you are on the move.
If you're going to sleep or staying in the house, you can stick the patches on your bed or under a desk.
hang a do not disturb sign around your neck.but you have to write it in mosquitish
