My favorite repellent is Skin So Soft (Avon)
Avon sells Skin-so-Soft by the Caseload to fishermen on t he Gulf coast!
Use it on my dogs even, to keep the fleas off of them in our hot-sandy environment.

I do not eat bananas during the rainy season, it may be a wifes tale but it has been said parasites like bananas. searching the internet i found no other evidence except:

Mosquitoes are attracted to potassium, salt, and lactic acid released by your body, so it helps to avoid salty and potassium rich foods like bananas, avocados, and dried fruit. Fragrances are known to attract mosquitoes.

Hmm . Interesting. We rarely get mosquitoes here in the UK, but we do get dense swarms of biting gnats. These too show a strong preference for some people over others. It would be intersting to see if the mosquitoes and gnats respond to the same chemical attractors?
An intersting point from @CosmicTruth 's article:
According to a 2004 study, people with type O blood were a whole 83 percent more likely to attract mosquitoes than any other blood type.
Oh! bugger it! Iām O type. That might be why all the gnats fall in love with me, mightnāt it? Now WTF am I supposed to do about that ?

You know that nicotine is a powerful insecticide?
I wonder what would happen if you upped the nicotine % in your vape? that wouldnāt prevent them from being attracted, but maybe theyād regret it pretty fast?
I use leftover juice for fruit-fly control. Itās incredibly effective.

I believe this has been disproven think it says it in the article i posted. Just thinking about what you said with nic being a pesticide i have a heep of nic that i left out in the sun and heat it is very peppery but i wonder if i can use it on my vegies in low doses say 6mg or 3mg in a spray bottle

nicotine spray is a traditional , natural insecticide, quite commmonly used in gardens. Gardeners used to make it by steeping cigarette butts in water. I read the formula somewhere , but havenāt seen it to translated to a (surely much more convenient ) e-juice formula.
Iāve also read sonewhere-or-other that itās no longer considered environmentally sound and that people should stop using nicotine spray on their gardens, but when I searched again for same article, couldnāt find it, nor anything similar. Just noting that in passing, just in case thereās something in it.

Ah! I didnāt read past the first chunk of your article, cos it turned out to be one of those annoying things that chop the story up into bite -sized portions like a slide show ( There must be a word for those, but sorry! i donā't know it), Experience says these are bad for my PC, and often riddled with malware. So , if any such atricle catches my interest, I now Google the subject and invariably find a more user-friendly version.
