I don't know if this answers your question but hope it helps. Cheers,
For bite free travelling, eat Marmite
01 May 2004, Seamus
Mosquitoes hate Marmite. Well, there's a surprise. If you want to stay bite free on your next rip abroad, health experts are now telling us that Marmite holds the key.
Dr Martin Schweiger, a public health consultant in Communicable Disease Control at the Health Protection Agency regional laboratory in Leeds, revealed his secret weapon for the launch of a new advice leaflet for travelers. He told the Leeds Co-op Travel to make sure you pack a jar of Marmite.
"I can't give you an academic, scientific reason - but people who eat Marmite report getting fewer mosquito bites," says Dr Schweiger.
"It's nothing to do with spreading it on the skin - but the effect of eating it could be linked to the Vitamin B1 Thiamin that it contains. This theory is supported by the rise of malaria in countries where staple rice has been de-husked and the thiamine-rich outer coating is discarded.
Marmite aficionados have long known this jewel of a tip and have been bite free for years, but many suspecting it is the Vitamin B12 that wards off the mossies.
A Marmite spokesman said: "You either love it or hate it and mosquitoes are clearly not in the former category."
Seamus Waldron, from I Love/Hate Marmite.com suggests that "Eating Marmite on your travels repels mosquitoes, but attracts ex-pats, so make sure you pack a large jar."

The marmite (la marmite) is French for a cooking pot, and no, you don't eat it. I think you mean Marmite which is a trade name for a vegetable spread, or stock addition based on yeast. Yes, people in the UK do eat it and we find it tasty. Australians have their own version called Vegemite. They would argue that their variety is better. When in Sydney, eat what the Aussies eat. Not a controversy I want to get into.

Yep, I like Marmite, it's delicious.
Very good with cheese as well, on toast or in a sandwich.
Must be a proper strong cheese like Cheddar, Wensleydale, Liecester, Caerphilly etc. not processed stuff.
CrackerBarrel is OK as an alternative.
Also try Worcestershire sauce with cheese on toast.. yum!

Marmite is a love it/hate it thing. I'd rather lick a dogs anus than eat marmite.

Marmite and Vegemite are two foods that, I think, you need to be
'born to'.
I do not find either of them appetizing, in any form.
But taste is acquired, and one man's poison is another man's
delicacy.
Of all the foods in the world, the only one I really detest is
sea urchin, or 'erizos'.
