Mosquitoes are attracted by the CO2 that we exhale, that's how they find warm
blooded animals to sink thier beak in to and suck thier blood.... I don't
think they are repelled by methane though...<g>...so I'm not sure that
rolling in dirt/cow dung/swamp muck is going to help that much....just stop
breathing and they won't bother you.....I suppose this is how the determine
if they are sucking on a live one or not also.....<g>
