Why mosquitoes love me
Apparently I smell more like carbon dioxide than nail polish remover. And I don’t have enough stress.
Mosquito Bites: The Real Reason Some People Are Immune, in the Wall Street Journal.
Seriously, put me in a garden at night and within minutes there will be halo of mosquitoes over my head, probably singing, “Buffet!” When I was a kid mosquito bites were such a problem that my mother would order me to keep swinging my legs while seated (kuyakoy) so mosquitoes couldn’t settle (It didn’t stop them). We had to spray the house with insecticide and put screens on everything. Finally my folks instituted the slightly hysterical house rule that I follow to this day: Shut the door! Quick! Mosquitoes!
The lack of stress part is also true. Some of my friends like having massages, they say it relieves their stress. I find that I feel the same before and after a massage, ergo I must not be stressed. The secret of having minimal stress is: Don’t hang around with people you don’t like. Limit contact. Hide if you have to. Only see your favorite humans.

When I was enlisted in the military, we were advised by our cadre of trainers to stock up on garlic pills when we were on field training. The garlic in the bloodstream emanated some sort of biological mosquito repellent. I’m sure it would’ve also warded off a few vampires as well.
