Can vitamins keep away mosquitoes?

I love my husband. You know who else loves him? Mosquitoes!! Whenever we are outside at night or trekking through forests mosquitoes are attracted to him. Are mosquitoes attracted to some people more than others? Studies show this is definitely true, however, the question is "Why?"

Many people say that vitamin B helps to produce a skin odor that keep away mosquitoes. There are many companies out there that highlight their vitamin B supplements as "mosquito repelling." According to an article in The New York Times recent studies show that vitamin B has no effect on keeping away those pesky bugs. Both a study published in 2005 in The Journal of American Mosquito Control Association and a study by Brazilian scientists showed no evidence that vitamin B did anything to help. For now, it is best to stick to the 100% deet mosquito repellent sprays or lotions.
