If you are doing this this summer - here is a tip to help make you less
attractive to mosquitoes - which are a bane here in the Southeast and in
the Alaska.

You may  want to forgo bananas during mosquito season. According to Dr.
Janet Starr Hull, “there’s something about how your body processes the
banana oil that attracts these female sugar-loving insects.”

Additionally,

She also recommends supplementing with one vitamin B1 tablet a day from
April through October, and then adding 100 mg of B1 to a B100 Complex
daily during the mosquito season to make you less attractive to
mosquitoes. Research also suggests that regularly consuming garlic or
garlic capsules may help protect against both mosquito and tick bites.

My own doctor told me about the B1 and B100 complex.

Burning some powdered  pyrethrums like marigold petals just before bed
time helps too.
