Mosquito's I'm one of the people they don't bug :lol:. But all of my black Labs they love. Yellow Labs they don't bother with. I do have type 0 blood though

Although I am AB+, I must put out a lot of CO2 or something. I have always been quite tasty to the mosquitoes. (Everybody will be saying "this campsite is great - hardly any mosquitoes, and I'll be, oh yeah, so what are these 50 welts on my arms and legs?) :lol:

Interestingly the mosquitoes love me as well, along with black flys and other things that bite and I have A- ... causing the American Red Cross to want my blood as much as the mosquitoes (happy to donate the regular way, not so much to the ones that bite). :D

When I trained Corky I used a whistle. So this week I bought a Whistling Tea Pot. Every time the water heats up he comes running. :lol: I thought it was very funny

I, too, am a mosquito magnet. What's worse, I've developed an allergy to the bites so they're accompanied by incredible swelling. I'm A+ and apparently especially tasty. :(

Ouch, sorry Doug. No pics from me, but that's the kind of swelling I experience. I gear up like a beekeeper when I work in the yard.

If you eat a lot of garlic it will help. It will also repel Vampires if you have them in your area. Wow Doug that is bad

I do love garlic, but don't think I eat enough of it to make a difference. I go through about 10 bottles of Sawyers insect repellent every summer, which has no deet, but uses picaridin, that comes from black pepper plants. I haven't been bit when I have it on :)
