I have a twin sister and she NEVER has misquito bites but if I step outside for 45 minutes I come back in with eight!! Some stay small, others swell HUGE!

She probably gives the misquitoes that look that says "I-wouldn't-dance-with-you-if-you-were-the-last-man-on-earth", and the misquitoes fly away in terror! If it works as a guy-repellent, why not as a bug-repellent? :)

Try this. Mix 6 drops of citronella essential oil and 4 drops of pure lavender essential oil into, let's say a 50ml jar of unscented moisturizer. Apply all over your body each time before you go out of your house. Mozzies may be attracted to your natural body scent and not your sister. Wear light-color clothing because mosquitoes like dark color. Take regular baths or showers to get rid of any perspiration. The blood-suckers love that. The formula may not repel the pests for 24hrs but it'll last for quite some time.

we all smell differently even your twin sister smells differently. Mosquitos and ticks love me they I think can smell me miles away. Also some of the shampoos, lotions or conditioners you use may be different than your sister or react differently chemically with your body.

I would eat more garlic. It keeps all the bloodsuckers off of me... Mosquitos, deer flies, ticks, vampires and women.

My husband is the same way. We can walk the dog and he will have many bites and I wont have any.
