You can't have your cake and eat it too. DEET is not good for your skin.

I heard that mosquitos don't like smokers, so maybe take up cigarettes while camping. To keep your skin healthy

The next time you're caught with a cig or doob, just tell your mom it was my fault, and I'll get sued.

I've head that smearing mud all over your skin works well but would increase your chances of being arrested for doing nothing wrong.

fruit. look it up. you detox your body on fruit, you become less attractive to the acidic-seeking blood suckers. and the mosquitoes.

Yeah, mosquitos hate fruit. Fruit isn't full of warm blood like us mammals. Simply replace your warm blood with cool fruit juice and the 'skeeters are sure to leave you alone.

My ex gf made a bunch of this shit for me and it works really well. No idea how she actually made it but the ingredients are on there: citronella, lemongrass, clove, grapefruit, eucalyptus, lemon, lavender and cedar.

Btw, this probably goes without saying, but don't wear this shit when you're hunting because it smells real strong.

This stuff is awesome, but requires a little prep

Not something you spray in your moment of need as it’s bad for your skin but you pretreat your clothes with it and it works phenomenally

Came to say this, when I was a camp counselor in middle of nowhere Wisconsin the camp gave us some to treat our clothes and tents with, it works insanely well
