I am the only one in my family with this problem. All living under the same roof, yet I am the only one whom the mosquitoes are attracted to. Apart from a few random bites here and there, I have 4 huge bites on my left leg that seem to be their favourite feeding ground; I think they have bitten the same spots more than once!

Very strange. This started only four or five days ago. Perfectly fine before that. No bites, like everyone else. I wonder why.

Anyway, my mum made me take a Vit B pill just now because she read in some magazines that taking Vit B helps the mosquitoes to stay away. Curious, I went online to do some research and the findings don't help. Some say studies prove not, others say it seem to work for them... Well, I guess I'll be one more voice contributing to whether it works or not. We'll see!

Hah, I guess I will never know if it works 'cos my mum decided to light the anti-mosquito coil last night. The combination seems to have worked pretty well, apart from my eyes getting all smoked up sometimes.

But she said that she and my dad used to get bites but after they've taken Vit B for a while, they don't get them anymore. I think it might be worth a try. I'm going to take it just once a week to see how it goes. ;)

It's DHA B-plex, a Vit B complex that has 1.3mg of Vit B1, 1.5mg of Vit B2, 0.5mg of Vit B5 and 10mg of nicoinamide. She bought it from the doc's, supposed to strengthen the veins etc. She says just buy Vit B complex.
