2. Medications

Medications can help reduce a persons pain level dramatically and can help that person live a more normal life. The strength and type of medication should be determined by an expert in chronic pain.

2.Stay inside at dawn and dusk, especially when air is calm.

This is favorite time for females, biter.

3.Mosquitoes love carbon dioxide (CO2) and lactic acid.

According to Anne Marie Helmenstine, Ph.D. (chemistry), we emit more CO2 when we’re hot and after we’ve been exercising. Burning candles and fires also emit CO2. We emit more lactic acid when we’ve been exercising, and after having eaten salty foods or foods high in potassium.

4.Wear light, loose clothing that covers body.

Mosquitoes prefer dark clothes. Mosquitoes prefer certain skin temperatures, often our hands and feet, because they’re cooler, so wear socks and shoes.

5.Mosquitoes are worse in urban areas.

Chicago, Detroit and Boston have been high on list. This is mainly because there are more people and also more discarded tires.

6.Mosquitoes are attracted to floral and fruity scents, and sweat. The moisture and chemical mix of human perspiration is a big lure. Obviously don’t wear perfume, but consider as well: sunscreen, suntan lotion, deodorant, hair spray, and use of fabric softener on your clothing.

7.Mosquitoes appear to be repelled by some natural oils.

Citronella, castor, rosemary, lemongrass, cedar, peppermint, clove, and geranium. Bear in mind that “natural” doesn’t always mean “safe,” and individuals have different reactions to these natural oils.

8.Don’t let them get into your house; they’re just as happy to bite you inside as out.

Get screens up and keep them repaired, when you leave house, open and close doors quickly, and educate your children about keeping doors closed.

9.Insect repellers bring mixed reviews, but here are two that appear to work well:

(1) Mosquito Dunks, which kill them before they’re big enough to bite, available at: http://www2.yardiac.com

(2) Mosquito magnet ® which “mimics a human by emitting a plume of carbon dioxide, heat and moisture, and a short-range attractant, octenol, which is irresistible to female mosquitoes,” available here: http://www.funbackyard.com . 10.The most susceptible populations to any virus, including West Nile, are children, seniors and anyone with a compromised immune system.
