It's summer in China now and the temperature reaches about 35 degree centigrades in my city.It's hot,isn't it?But it is the biggest problem that mosquitoes like biting me and even worse,the skin became red and swollen and itchy as well.OMG...I wonder why the mosquitoes like me?Is it about my blood type?
Anyway,do you have the same problem in summer?Do you have an effective way to avoid being attacked by the damned mosquitoes?

Nobody is exempted from being a victim of mosquito. They also don't have the device to identify your bloodtype. It's such that, as long as they can have blood, they'll definitely bite you.
I think you can have stuff like lotion (anti-mosquito) while going outside. It could elimiated (if not eradicate) attacks. Please check if there are stagnant water from open containers, canals, and the likes nearby your house. Stagnant water is the best way for mosquitos to populate.
In line with this, you can also buy an anti-mosquito spray and have it fog all over your house and nearby. I am pretty damn sure, it would kill a lot of mosquito. If you have that open bedroom that mosquitos can enter during your sleep, try blowing your room with your electric fan, or else you can use mosquito net instead aside from rubbing an anti-mosquito lotion.
Remember, as long as mosquitoes see where they can lay eggs, the more that they can populate and the more the danger the people nearby may experience.

Hi, i live in the usa and we get alot of mosquitoes here in the state i live in and yes they do bother me to the always bite but in my opinion i think they bite everyone here every once in a while in the summer, i think if your a person your get bit.But i do notice we've got this stuff called off and you can get non scented to spray on u and it keeps them off. I actually try to use it when i can.

Yes, I hate them!! They seem to bite me any time I am outside!! My son is the same way, but my husband could be outside naked and wouldn't get one single bite!! They are so annoying, and look terrible!! All red and icky!! I haven't found anything that will keep them away from me and I have tried alot of products..I guess we are just to sweet to the mosquitos!!

we have a mosquito problem every summer.it's getting to the point where the city is going to have to spray or something.
i wonder sometimes myself if they like certain blood types more than others.i can be in a roomful of people and it seems they head right for me anyways LOL
i pretty much use a lot of repellant on my skin in the summer,it's about all you can do to chase them off.

I am in Germany and the mosqitoes are out here to get me, too. I must also have sweet blood. We have many mosiqitoes here and they bite me all the time. There is some sprays that smell terrible and electrical devices one can stick into outlets to kill mosqitoes but nothing really helps.
