I went thru a time when a mosquito bite left huge whelts on me. I was having lots of skins reactions to everything there for awhile and the bugs left marks for days.

I was told that you should avoid eating bananas cause something comes thru the pores of your skin that they are attracted to......

That same persons told me to drink lemon in your water or real lemonade while outdoors because skeeters don't like that smell....and skeeters are actually attracted by the carbon dioxide that we exhale....so maybe the lemon masks the scent??? Worth a try.
