It really does help, you'll need to start scoffing marmite a couple of weeks before visiting mozzieland!. I read about this in the Sunday Times and have tried this on a friend who always has severe reactions to mozzie bites which have previously resulted in many visits to doctors and pharmacies!. She still get bitten, though less often and the reaction is now 'normal'!. I'd suggest you combine this with the other usual precautions, such as covering up, citronella mozzoff spray,etc etc!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I read this somewhere several years ago and personal experience bears it out!. My husband is a Marmite addict and never gets bitten, whereas I only eat it occasionally and am a target for mossies as soon as I get off the plane!.

If you like Marmite, I'd go for it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Haven,t heard that but I can tell you it doesn,t work with gnats!I,m a regular Marmite eater and the little blighters have taken four chunks out of my arms!Www@FoodAQ@Com

I have heard this but not had the chance to try it out, I do know citronella candles keep them at bay as i used them last year in Jamaica!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yeah, it has been said that if you take a course of high dose vitamin B capsules it has the same effectWww@FoodAQ@Com

Don't know about eating it, but smearing it all over exposed areas of skin might work!. Why not experiment!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

I have heard that and apparently eating garlic does too!.!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
