As I've written earlier, I'm not near as tasty to skeeters as I was before I got my VitD levels up where they belong. Now, besides VitD level monitoring, we've become fans of rubbing dryer sheets on our exposed skin, hands, neck, ears, even forehead and cheekbones as a way to discourage mosquitoes.

The folks I played Hold'em with last Friday night asked me if I'd remembered to bring some...we play in their open garage. LOL

And yes, we prefer the non-scented dryer sheets and Helen cuts them up into 6ths or 8ths for the dryer.

Found the tip on Huff-po courtesy of AOL. It was ranked extremely high in a 10 or 15 mosquito discouraging techniques comparison trial recently acc'd to the article.

PS...we had a couple deaths last year, and 4 deaths I think it was the year before. The city keeps talking about making one of the worst "pond scum" offenders put in culverts and drain his swamp-like ditches with all their gorgeous cattails...no go. So we just keep killing off the locals and that jerk keeps bribing or paying off or whatever it is he's doing to keep from being good neighbor. GRRRR
