Exclamation Deet... an acquired taste for skeeters?

BBC News - Mosquitoes ignore repellent Deet after first exposure

We'll have to remember this when the warm windless nights of summer lead to our annual mosquito discussion...

must remember that skeeters have a tasting straw
with smell sensors on it...

they smell skin before ever dipping the straw (in hover-mode)
they don't like skin or BLOOD with vitamin B1 in it..

what i do is use a cup of yogurt to mix a hefty tablespoon of
brewer's yeast in it stirred up and consumed 30 minutes before
goin out in skeeto land...

some people also put a bounce rag for anti static for dryers
on their hat... when the goin gets rough

Hmmmm.... never heard of the dryer sheet method, hafta give that one a try. I remember those sheets being quite handy for helping keep dorm rooms odor free, especially when crumpled up and stuffed into an empty paper towel roll...

LOL we'll say odor resistant. still got busted once

I'm deffinately trying raven's mosquito vodoo trick though. Don't they do a coast wide mosquito spray in MA? I remember last year they were tamed quite well for a period, but then came back really strong at one point

something clever and related to fishing
