Mosquitoes seem almost impossible to completely rid yourself of. They are super annoying and can carry some pretty deadly viruses. If you currently use DEET to keep them at bay you should STOP! DEET is a powerful chemical that can produce some dreadful side effects and when it comes to our skin we should be avoiding toxic chemicals as it is.
When it comes to a safer means of protecting yourself you should give vitamin B1 a try. It could save you a lot of trouble. Vitamin B1 is also known as Thiamine and has been used by many for years when it comes to keeping mosquitoes away. It is believed that taking in the right amount of this alters the way our sweat smells making us unappealing to the mosquitoes.
