Answer 1

This product had a man made chemical in liquid form that reacted with your body chemistry that made you smell like a sweeter cholesterol scent to them. Using straight herbal formulas & using no man made products from animals will avoid skeeters!


Seems mosquito's are attracted by the external exuded by skin form of of cholesterol since they are more efficient at processing cholesterol, the byproducts of which remain on the skin's surface.

So thereby applying lotions that have animal cholesterols or urea can greatly more-so attract them ! Certain acids, such as uric acid (urine) also they come to (and know as must know as familiar.)



Avoid also the Color blue, bananas on the breath, swampy water being around.

Answer 2

Colors do attract bugs, but so does your scent. If your going to be outside do not wear hairspray, perfumes, lotions that are scented. Deodorant is fine. Now if your still itching, put a dab of clear finger nail polish on it. It will seal it and air can not get to it which aides in the itching proces. Fake spray on tans if they are odorless wont attract them. Good luck

Answer 3

Haha, no, there is nothing in a fake tanner that should attract bugs. Maybe you used a lotion that was scented or attracted the, the places you mention are also the places most people apply lotion.

Answer 4

I don't know, but I know that misquitos are attracted to the color blue (I read it from an offbeat oddity in my school agenda)

Answer 5
