... to mosquitoes.

Seriously, has anyone else ever experienced this? It's always been like this for me. It's not my diet, because it's always been like this, back when I was a dumb carnist kid and now as a vegan adult. I'm not even joking when I say that if someone opens the door only long enough to come inside (maybe 5-10 seconds) I will often immediately attract a mosquito which bites me several times. I'll often sit outside at work and have to go somewhere else because I'm being harassed by mosquitoes, when none of my coworkers have noticed anything. If I'm on a hike, I will literally come back with dozens of mosquito bites, any people with me might have a couple.

Bug sprays have never helped. Mosquitoes seem to avoid biting the parts I hit but inevitably I will miss a little spot near my armpit or something and mosquitoes will dodge my sleeve to go bite that.

I get bit by at least one mosquito almost every single day, even if I don't go outside.

I hate summer.

Please help

    there's also spot heaters to treat bites. they work against wasp and bee stings as well, as they heat up the stung area enough to break down the venom.

      Ammonia is also good for bee stings. It breaks down the irritants. I'll try hot water next time I get stung because rubbing windex into my skin has probably shaved a bit of time off my life expectancy
