Default Gnat bites mozzie bites!! ...

There is something sweet in my blood for sure coz they love me …

Pesky little things!!! Anyone got some good tips of how to keep the things at bay. I guess making my yearly bath more frequent might help

But seriously, aside buying insect repellent products what can one do? Eat garlic? Smother oneself in urine?? That sort of touch!!

They don't like B vitamins apparently. Eat more marmite.

Or get hairier. That works too.

Where do we get hold of these "unattractive" people?

I might have to put a classified in the paper.
