Do you have the feeling that mosquitoes love you and only you, thus use each opportunity to stub you. One great thing you can do is to take vitamin B1. .This vitamin probably is your saving grace. 

Vitamin B1 which also is known as thiamine, is an essential vitamin that human body needs. This vitamin is contained in foods such as yeast, oatmeal, brown rice, asparagus, kale, liver and eggs and is important in the fight against stress and boosting immunity.

It is water-soluble vitamin and any excess that is not used by your body will get flushed out with urine. Therefore, you don’t have to worry about taking too much.

What’s incredible about the relationship between Vitamin B1 and mosquitoes is it has the potential to change the way you smell to the little buggers. Those with enough Vitamin B1 in their systems tend to smell “yeasty” to mosquitoes, making them unappealing to bite. It will not change the way you smell around people.

Note: these theories haven’t yet been supported scientifically, not yet. The good thing is that taking Vitamin B supplements has no unwanted side-effects so it can’t harm if you try it. People who’ve tried this approach say that it’s quite effective, much more effective than the commercially sold insect repellents. 

You must be aware that certain conditions can lower thiamine in the body, such as: chronic alcoholism, Crohn’s disease, anorexia and gastric bypass, so individuals with these conditions may benefit health-wise from taking an extra supplement.

Try taking 100 mg of thiamine every day, and after 2 weeks you will start noticing a decrease in the amount of times you are uncomfortably smacking these pests away from your body. If thiamine does not help you, try this recipe for natural mosquito repellent to avoid using chemical warfare on your body.
