Is there a safe way to protect yourself from mosquito bites?
And this BONUS question: how to handle the itching from when they (inevitably) get you.
This topic was pitched by by guest editor Ann McGuire in Episode 5 at The Glenwood Drive In. Ann complained that “I can spray myself, it doesn’t work. I can sit in front of a smudge pot, it doesn’t work.” (Duo also seized the opportunity to display what he described as a “grand mal mosquito welt” on his calf.)
What say you?

This might not solve your problem…but it’s good for a laugh.

AARP magazine says:
Put an onz. of white vinegar in a glass of water and drink it… You’ll keep the mosquitoes away as the repulsive stench oozes out your pours. Humans can not smell it.
I wonder it works if you mix the vinegar with something more interesting… like vodka.
Vinegartini, anyone?
..and Kim: “The Mosquito Song” made me weep.
Here are some real tips. They suggest you wear more clothes. Of course, you might die from heat exhaustion.
We used to vacation in Wisconsin where the mosquitoes would carry you off to their evil lair. We would always hope for a very windy day.

So far the best tip I’ve gotten is for after the fact and came from Bruce himself who suggested putting scotch tape on the mosquito bite. It works!
I have been using the Off Clip-On because I am opposed to dousing myself with potentially hazardous material. It seems to be doing the trick. The only mosquito bites I have incurred this summer was when I didn’t have it on. The only downside (but I’ll let you be the judge-dependent on the company) is that EVERYBODY wants to hang close to you because it works for a certain radius!
