They don't like the fur!! ha! ha!

Actually that's interesting to me as I was going to make a post asking just the opposite, the mozzies love me! I always get bitten even when others don't, it seems, (though maybe I just react more as I have read not everyone gets the itchy bump)

well feral; my hole bod isn't covered with hair ya know!!! i see what your thinkin. think higher.. higher... ok my head is bald..!! :)
when i was iron heavy i thought it was cause they couldn't fly after slurpin up my blood?? too heavy. or it bent their nose's.? well i was just wondering. one of those things us old monkeys do.
be well.. dc

Ha! Ha! Sorry mate . . . . . . . I'm just a low thinker . . . . . I pictured a big purple one . . . . but then remebered that's your cousin baboon!

I was thinking the mozzies liked me as they knew the high iron levels would be best for their eggs.

Well now we know it has nothing to do with our iron levels. (though I suppose it's possible high iron might suppress some peoples reaction to bites but have the opposite effect on others as we can have quite different symptoms generally(?))

My son must be part monkey as they don't go for him either (more on that later & midges)

yep everyone remembers my cousin!!!! doe's your son speak monkeyeeze??? i have heard that although rare, male human children do exhibit certain monkeyish traits or actions... most grow out of it at an early age. i had to be the different one!!
well make sure you take that little monkey out fishin. it cures monkeyidis after several sessions or was that seasons???
best to you all. oh wait
while out camping this weekend my kids sprayed some of that deets OFF (the stuff "safe for you to put on alllll over your body!) onto some bushes next to camp to help ward the little buggers off.. well the next day those bushes had turned black where sprayed!!! eeegads!!
and we wonder why we come down with strange issues???
well enough of that.... do take care dc/duane

I've never been bit by a mosquito, even when others are getting munched on like crazy. Never thought it might be connected to HH.

It has something to do with the B vitamins. Mosquitos don't like a certain;- B vitamin. I think the B-complex that monkey is taking is worth taking . I will try and find a link on this.

Mosquitos have LOVED me as long as I can remember. However... Since you mention it... hmmmm, I started taking B-12 and my ferritin is down to 1313 (down from 10,363 in Sept 2010) and they haven't bothered me this summer, YET.

Maybe with me phlebbing twice p/week they just feel sorry for me and don't bother!

zzzzzzz

I read they like iron and don't like B-12. I take methyl B-12 also and I don't get bit either.

It's hardly surprising.
Look what happened when the surgeon did your liver biopsy.
You broke his scalpel!

If thats what you do to surgical steel what chance do the poor little mozzies have?

Jokes aside. I always used to get eaten alive but I am not sure it is as bad. I think maybe diet and sweat has something to do with it and obviously hair!

Not surprised the repellent turned the bushes black. It melts soft plastic.
