"Yesterday on Smitten, Cheryl wrote about her honeymoon horror story, which involved some enormous mosquito bites. Eeks! So here&amp;#x27;s my end-of-summer question: Do you tend to be bitten by mosquitoes a lot? Do they love you? Your answer to that question could reveal something really interesting about yourself... Check this out: If you tend to get more mosquito bites than the average person (hi Cheryl)--I also fall into this category, they love me!--it isn&amp;#x27;t because your blood is &amp;quot;sweeter.&amp;quot; (But isn&amp;#x27;t that a cute way to think about it?) No, the reason for the bites, say researchers, is that you&amp;#x27;re just not that stressed out, and mosquitoes are turned off by the scent of stress. According to recent findings by scientists in England, our bodies produce certain odors (don&amp;#x27;t worry, you don&amp;#x27;t stink!) when we&amp;#x27;re stressed, and mosquitoes can&amp;#x27;t stand them. Interesting, huh? Do you tend to be a mosquito magnet like me? I always thought it was a curse, but it&amp;#x27;s fun to hear the silver lining--I guess I&amp;#x27;m managing my stress pretty well! P.S. I recently heard about an all-natural insect repellent patch (yep, you wear it) called &amp;quot;Don&amp;#x27;t Bite Me&amp;quot; that contains Vitamin B1, which is believed to be a natural way to keep bugs away. Might be worth checking out if you&amp;#x27;re like me and don&amp;#x27;t like chemical bug sprays.
