I’m tired of mosquitos biting me. If i can’t stop them biting me, the next best thing is to stop them biting me a second time. So what’s the best (safe for me) way to make myself poisonous to mosquitos, and optionally other bugs that might bite me?

    I thought it was more common, but mosquito bites do not effect me, and I only get bit very very occasionally. My kid, on the other hand, gets eaten by mosquitoes and has a very harsh reaction.

    What would cause mosquitoes to naturally not want to bite me & no itching/bumps/reaction to their bites?

      For the no itching/bumps part, I think the absence of an immune system reaction (or a weak one) will do that

          IIRC the itching and inflammation is an immune response to the shit they inject you so you don’t feel the bite as much while they’re drinking, and huge bumps/lots of itching is an allergic reactions of sorts (which is really just the immune system going way overboard with a reaction to something that is not a threat or not a big one). So you may have no reaction to it, or a very light one
