Ian,
thanks for that info. I didn't know about
this usefull side-effect of Vit B.
Yes I do often take Vit B or Womens Multi Vits
with various B's in it. I had also noticed mozzies are not too interested
in me. I'd always put this down to me being a VERY cold extremities type so I
was harder to find if they were using heat seeking - wheras hot-blooded
companions were driven mad.
In contrast I
have noticed that lacewing nymphs are very inclined to bite me - and
the resultant itchy-bite lasts for weeks and drives me nuts! Fortunately they
don't get the chance too often!! Everyone (of the v limited no. of people who
actually know what a lacewing nymph is!) I'd mentioned this to was astounded and
had never experienced them biting.
Also fleas
bites drive me mad.
On
mozzies. My father grew up in Mildura where mozzies were a part of life. He said
he'd made a point of not scratching bites and found with time they lost their
itchy impact on him. I tried doing the same thing a decade or more ago and
yes it worked. Prior to that when bitten I was covered in itchy-bites.
Now I can avoid scratching them at all. (Though some of the mozzie born diseases
that are about and spreading now are rather worrying.)
thanks again,
Wendy Moore
