About
Mosquitos
Don't
believe the hype.
Alaska
mosquitoes will bug off if you just know the right
tricks.
There's
definitely good reason why many Alaskans feel the mosquito should be
Alaska's State bird. They are quite large. Fact is mosquitoes are
a common sight in all of Alaska and at times during the summer, they
can be downright annoying. But, there are a few remedies that do not
involve rubbing deet (poison) all over your face.
One
proven mosquito detractant is a product made by Avon called Skin-So-Soft.
It works and it's not toxic.
Another
trick is taking regular doses of vitamin B-1 a few weeks before leaving
for Alaska. Once you build it up, mosquitoes seem to think you stink
and they leave you alone.
And
finally, though not personally tested, a battery operated unit has been
introduced designed to buzz away mosquitoes. That's right you buzz them
with a high pitch whine and they are supposed to avoid you like the
plague. Someone told me they are selling them at Costco, let me know
if it works!
