Some insects are attracted to the beauty products you use.
The floral smell or what ever. When you are going to be outside you might want to skip colognes or body lotions.
It is true I believe that some people are naturally more attractive to mosquito's, etc. than other people.
When I was young they bothered me a lot, now, I assume with a change in body chemistry, they rarely bother me.
Do not scratch the bug bites, use hydocortizone cream to stop the itching. Scratches and bug bites will heal.

I know this sounds stupid but you must be tastier than your friends. When I went to Arran on a school trip one of the teachers and I didn't get bitten at all yet some people were absolutely covered in bites. You are being a tad paranoid but this is just something that happens naturally a bit like some cats get flea infested more than others

1st of all, B12 in your blood has nothing to do with it- its an old wives tale, that had been disproven in studies countless times.
the real reason is the presense of a particular enzyme in your blood, that is usually genetic
my sister and i are more prone to mossie bites and they swell more than on other people
also the more times you get bitten, the more mossies are attracted to you...
the best thing for bites is a product called paraderm plus. it contains:
-an antiseptic
- an anethetic
-an anti-inflammatory
so if basically numbs the bite
I swear by it and recommend it to all my customers

I'm not sure why, but mosquitos are definatley attracted to some people much more than others. I'm one of the lucky ones. They do still bother me, but my wife has it like 10 times worse.

People w/ low levels of B-12 in their blood get bitten more often. Try taking an over the counter B-12 vitamin. Ask your Dr. 1st of course. Good luck. I used to have the same problem.
