I don’t know how many times I have been bitten by mosquitoes and only realized it later or even the next day through itchy red bites. Popular mosquito repellent often contains toxic substances that are not good for the body.
But according to the website Healthyfoodhouse our summer days with mosquito bites may finally be over. All thanks to natural vitamin B.
Very high levels of vitamin B in the body appears to cause a fragrance that mosquitoes do not like.
You can find the vitamin in a lot of our everyday food, such as potatoes, beans, broccoli and onions. And aside from the fact that it can scare away mosquitos vitamin B is also important for our overall health, helping with our metabolism and red blood cell production.
But a mosquito bite is not just about itchy rashes. Getting bit by mosquitos can also have much more serious consequences – the spread of disease.
While you may be fortunate enough that in your country diseases such as the zika virus and malaria are not a huge concern, it remains certain that mosquito bites are never fun!
