number one for relaxing favorites for yourmorning. Court, Are you a what
people would call a mosquito magnet?There have been times where I feel like
they've been really attracted to me,other times not so much. I have

(00:21):
family members that seem to be moreattractive to the mosquitoes. Yeah, so
it's a It's definitely a thing.I get attacked by mosquitoes every time I'm
outside. Well, I was readingover the weekend that they have been testing
three different soaps, apparently dial Doveand a soap called Simple Truth, which

(00:42):
I've never heard of, but thosemade people in this study more attractive to
mosquito. So now they're saying itcould be the soap that you used as
compared to the unwashed, should wesay? In the study they said that
coconut and vanilla bodywash are mosquito deterrent, so or anything with coconut, or
you use a body wash that's vanilla, that's a good thing before you go

(01:03):
outside. It now like a naturalrepellent. Yeah, I guess so,
Yeah, that's a good way tolook at it. It's interesting, Carolyn,
because I remember growing up and granted, you know, this were just
the rumors that would spread. I'dalways heard that it was like your blood
type, me too, and sobut then I realized I have a couple
of brothers that were always attacked,and then I never was we all have
this. I have six brothers,okay, and we all have the same

(01:26):
blood type. And that makes nosense now, so maybe it comes down
to my brother James didn't wash himselfwith the right soap, James, maybe
he didn't wash himself at all.Yeah. Well, I also find that
when you eat certain foods, orI've read that when you eat certain foods,
like if you eat garlic, yeah, keeps the mos gits away,
but then you smell like garlic forthree days. So it's a trade off.

(01:48):
You want the mosquito bites, soyou want to smell like garlic for
the next three days. Good garlicpizza though, sounds pretty good. I
mean, you're not wrong. Yeah, eight seven seven nine, eight one
h ninety eight one. We've gotmore on this in the Morning Breeze,
page eight one, the Breeze dotCom. And as somebody who is definitely
susceptible to getting getting bit by mosquitoes. Do you have any hacks to help
me if summer is coming.
