 Mosquitoes, they are not going away. You either live in an area where mosquitoes live like kings and queens in humid environments, or you have visited a place such as this. These mosquitoes, like vampires, suck! An old Apache legends states they were not indigenous to the Turtle Island (the Americas) until the last Great Bear died and reincarnated into millions of mosquitoes that when combined, formed the shape of the Sacred Great Bear. 

 The Great Bear was killed by a disrespectful Apache youth, so in revenge, the next season the bear formed massive swarms of mosquitoes to suck the life blood out of the entire tribe, bite by bite. So what do we do without playing around with chemicals? The answer my friend is blowing in the wind (or in this article). Mosquitoes usually like non-locals over locals, just like I like an occasional Asian or Mexican dish. They also tend to prefer excessive-fat people over lean-fit people.

 Recommendations for repelling mosquitoes: #1 Cover up any and all exposed skin; #2 Rub cinnamon oil on your skin and drink cinnamon tea and/or eat ground cinnamon; #3 Rub lemon grass oil on your skin and/or spray it on your clothes; #4 Drink vanilla mixed with olive oil; #5 Eat Garlic and/or rub garlic on your clothes. Recommendations for mosquitoes bites to prevent and minimize itching: #1 Rub tea tree oil on all exposed areas where itching is occurring; #2 Bathe in water mixed with lavender oil (warm water) and/or rub on affected areas; #3 Place spit and urine (hopefully your own) on affected areas to give some temporary comfort, if nothing else is available; #4 Rub peppermint oil on affected areas; #5 Place paste of baking soda mixed with a little purified water on affected area to draw out the irritants.

 Remember thousands of people die each year from mosquitoes as they can transmit disease and cause many illnesses, which can be fatal to unfit people and fit people alike. When things go from bad to worst with climate changes and worse case scenarios, mosquitoes will increase in number and deadliness. Be prepared my friend, be prepared!
