how do you prevent mosquito bites when out doors?

Apparently mosquitoes are lured to you body heat. So the bigger you are the more likely you are to be a target. Also if you smell, you are a target as well. Use mosquito repellant lotions and cream. Stay away from groups where you are one of the largest. It would be better to be accompanied by people bigger than you.

Try to wear full sleeves.Be very vigilant early mornings.It is said this type of mosquito is active early mornings.When lying in bed its advisable to use a mosquito mesh.Even near windows other than the glass pane have an inner window which is covered with a mosquito mesh.Electric vaporises which prevent mosquito bites are good but after a while the mosquitoes get used to them.

When I am traveling in a tropical country I try dressing in long trousers at dusk. Then I put socks on. Mosquitoes would like to bite my legs and ankles if I didn't do that. I have tried different sorts of mosquito repellent. The most affective was arm wrist bands and ankle bands bathed in deet. Those seemed to keep all mosquitoes away from me. I have heard having vitamin B tablets for several months and then ongoing makes a person smell horrible to mosquitoes. I know some Australian friends that have had Dengue fever. I was trying to avoid getting malaria when I visited Kenya which has a high risk.

i use insect repelant lotion when i go out

THIS is really difficult you know. when go outdoors, if you didn't get bites, it is really a miracle. because there are too many mosquitos that we just can't avoid being bite. the mosquitos repellent is not a miracle cure for them. One way which is not quite well is not wear those short clothes.
