Garlic. Mosquitoes have sensory indicators to detect desirable blood, which is exposed through your sweat glands. They are attracted to "sweet" blood. Garlic is a very good substance to "odorize" your sweat that will deter mosquitoes away from you because garlic will secrete through your glands and blanket the sweet smell of your blood. To the human nose, it scentless.
This is why you may be getting bit by mosquitoes a hundred times and the person right next to you doesn't get bit once. Some people produce the odor naturally.
Other tips to deter mosquitoes:
- Limit foods or drinks that will sweeten your blood (i.e., alcohol)
- Take Vitamin B-1
- Stay away from still standing water
- Use deet or citronella products
- Waft or swipe mosquitoes off, don't slap them on your skin.
- Avoid scented/perfumed products (i.e., lotions, cologne, hairspray, soaps, etc.)
