i hardly ever get bit but i know people who are bitten all the time. i'm sure there is something here, unless i am getting bitten and don't have a physical reaction.

What's your blood type and how's your metabolism? Supposedly mosquitos are more attracted to people with Type O blood.

Oh joy; thanks for that vital bit of info, will come in handy if Zika advances into the US. I've already got DEET purchases lined up for this fall to get ahead of the likely rush.

Same experience here. My wife can sit next to me with several mozzies pestering her, whereas I have none.
