I am covered in mosquitoes as soon as i sit out, yet other people are not bothered by them. Is there anything i can eat to stop them, as repellents do not work!

Body chemistry has a lot to do with the issue. They are attracted to several things that you really can't change about your system.
I see that you say repellants don't work. I wonder how concentrated a DEET solution you are using. DEET is the active ingrediant that most repellant manufacturers use. They do make them in varying strengths. I have the same problem you have, the bugs love me. I have had to go to a 30 percent Deet DEEPWOODS OFF when the bugs are thick or aggressive. This year, I found a new bug repellant, one that I haven't used before. CUTTER AVANCED OUTDOORSMAN with PICARIDIN, HEAVY DUTY FORMULA, NO ODOR FORMULA. Actually it has a very light scent and very, very light feel. It does not have the stench associated with DEET solutions. So far, I've had outstanding results and am very pleased. I found it at Wal-Mart and have seen it at a number of other retailers.
I hope this helps.

Chemistry has nothing to do with it.They feed on blood.Blood is blood.The only explanation for this is that they bite you because your a good looking girl.

Do you eat banana's on a regular basis? For some reason, they are attracted to people who do.
