Also personal anecdote; my wife and myself are longtime vegetarians and we never get stung. We generally don’t notice that there is anything bitey around us until magnets asking us if we can go inside because they are getting eaten alive (we have been in Florida for instance where a friend got 10+ bites in a very short time while we were sitting there outside long before him and noticed nothing until he ran inside; this friend is a real magnet as anti moz spray doesn’t help at all for him). It’s not only mosquitos though; things like flees, gnats, midges etc are also not interested in us; we always have to hear from others if there is something that bites.
But no idea if it’s diet related as I cannot remember how it was before I switched diet; too long ago.
- withinboredom 4y agoI wonder if this is also applicable to bees. When I was a kid, we got caught up in a swarm (there were five of us hiking in the woods). I was walking through the swarm as though I wasn’t even there. I think I had maybe a handful on me the entire hour, while my friends were literally covered in them, even under their clothes and underwear. I never get bitten by insects, ever. I can count on one hand how many mosquitoes have bitten me in the last decade.
- cglace 4y agoI eat tons of meat and my wife eats mostly vegetables. Mosquitoes never bite me and she gets eaten alive.
