lately the mosquitos are horrible. i have no choice but to go out every morning to go to the bus stop. i litterally get swarmed. and im not the only one. i looked down at my had and there were five mosquitos right there on my hand. i dont want to use bug spray because the smell is really strong. ive heard that rubbing dryer sheets on u is supposed to help but that didnt work either. yesterday, two of them got swollen, and thats never happened before. things like benedryl doesnt work well for me. so here are my questions:
1.) is there any kind of scentless bugspray or tricks i can use to repel the mosquitos
2.)why did those two bites swell up when thats never happened before
3.)what works well for itches
4.)why are the mosquitos so bad this year?
plus give me any other tips or help you think i could use.
thanks sooooo much

use an insect lotion, it doesn't have such a bad smell and will keep the mosquitoes from biting you. I use one by Coppertone and it keeps the mosquitoes away. Mosquitoes carry many serious diseases and you need to not be bitten. It's not unusual for the bites to swell. There are over the counter itch sprays that will give immediate relief. I don't know why the mosquitoes are bad this year. All I know is you have to protect yourself.
