We take Vit D now but before that neither Phil nor I were worried by the mozzies.

He wonders if perhaps the bird population has changed so not so many insects being devoured by them. All these rotten fevers can be very debilitating. xxMimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-29543289634208633432013-12-29T13:28:26.948+08:002013-12-29T13:28:26.948+08:00That's a new slant on it.

Rub vinegar on their arms and legs. I'll pass that on. I used to honey and cider vinegar but I've not done that for yonks. Maybe should get back on to it, not anti-mozzie but just 'cos it's good for one.Mimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-5677739709044929072013-12-29T12:58:41.712+08:002013-12-29T12:58:41.712+08:00Oh poor you, that is dreadful.

Apparently high levels of vitamin D are a deterrent to midges (awful bitey things in Queensland) - perhaps it's a vitamin/mineral thing with mozzies too?PinkPatentMaryJaneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07219272193124932806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-11571826041318026202013-12-28T21:39:05.613+08:002013-12-28T21:39:05.613+08:00My grandpa had perniious anaemia..he never got bit...My grandpa had perniious anaemia..he never got bitten either.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-85740079939944626112013-12-28T18:23:23.460+08:002013-12-28T18:23:23.460+08:00Hari OM

There were always, 'midgies', this island's equivalent bitey nuisance, but no risk to health per se. Sigh. I had a bout of Dengue in Mumbai. Took a while to get over that one!!

I often drink vinegar and honey as a hot tea, also cold if I let it sit too long, and haven't been bitten in years. My ex, who rarely eats anything sweet is never bitten. As children, mum would rub us down with vinegar, even in the hair, before sending us out to play in the cooling dusk. We never got bitten.

Sigh. I can be savaged and the skinny one is left strictly alone. Which amuses him, and irritates me. Not only do the little blighters fang into me, I come up in large welts - which weep and itch. Even when I don't scratch them.Elephant's Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06650565833097914052noreply@blogger.com
