Mosquitoes bites aren't fun, but here are 5 easy way  to prevent them:



Secret#1: Mosquitoes are attracted to dark blue clothing (and other dark colors). If you're like me and hate getting bitten by mosquitoes, but love the outdoors, try wearing light color clothing.

Secret#2: Mosquitoes don't like the scent of sage or rosemary, so throw some on the grill or campfire and voila! no more bites!

Secret#3: Mosquitoes don't like strong currents, so if it's possible, sit next to a fan, place it behind you, and you will be untouched!

Secret#4: Mosquitoes also don't like garlic. If you eat a lot of garlic, the oils from your skin will repel them, however if you don't want to eat it, you can mix garlic with water in a spray bottle and spray yourself. If you don't want to smell like garlic, you can just spray around you, maybe hang some clothes on a wire that smell like garlic, something like that.

Secret#5: Mix crushed parsley with apple cider vinegar and either rub it on your skin or dip a piece of clothing in it (like a scarf or handkerchief) and wear in on you. It will repel those blood suckers right away!
