Well, I’ve done a little research and, if you’re like me, you may want to take heed:
1. Wear light-colored clothing. Mosquitoes appear to be attracted to darker clothes, which trap body heat and increase your appeal.
2. Check your feet. Believe it or not, they also seem to like the smell of dirty socks. Other scents that make them swoon: sweat, soaps, and perfumes. (For me, it’s CK One Summer – my feet certainly don’t smell!)
3. Can the beer. In a limited study, mosquitoes bit more people who’d had beer than those who hadn’t. (Darn it!)
