Mosquitoes and why they might be attracted to your blood more than the person's next to you

the little blighters have allways found me an easy target.

They never used to bother me much but the last few years they really annoy me at night. I almost get to sleep and then bzzzzzz...

I read years ago that people with high levels of vitamin B in their blood aren't attractive to mosquitoes. I've also read that blood-sucking insects such as lice don't bother animals with high llevels of organic iodine in their blood, so perhaps I need to have kelp more often.

Just keep in mind that Ross River River and Barmah Virus cases have jumped in some years when condition

suit the breeding of mosquitoes,(especially when there has been a lot of rain about and the water sits in

puddles and other areas).

They can both be debilitating and they have dozens of symptoms including swelling and lethargy to the point

that it's difficult to get up and be mobile,(so don't take it lightly as people have lost their jobs in some cases as

they simply can't do the work).

Last year and the beginning of this there were cases of RR in and around Melbourne and Geelong some in 

areas where mosquitoes carrying the virus are not usually found:

The virus is prevalent in all states.

Since my transplant, and the attendant toxic drugs, I haven't been bothered with mosquitos, but have had a tick on me.

When I was a child I never had a problem with mosquitoes, they must not have liked me. But as a young teenager I became very involved in athletics and read that sulphur was good for the blood. So I took a spoonful of sulphur powder with some molasses every morning for weeks. It was horrible and got to the point that I couldn't do it any more. But that was the beginning of a love affair mosquitoes developed with me, and continues to this day. I guess the sulphur worked.
