Mosquito bite on my eye :(

Hey everyone!

Does anybody have a way to prevent mosquitoes from attacking my eyelid when I'm asleep? It happens WAY too often and I'm certainly not putting anti-mosquito bite spray on my eye. I'm always the one that gets bit first. On my body I use spray and it works, but is there a way to fight it from the inside maybe?

Weird question, I know. I thought I'd give it a shot.
Thank you in advance :)

I've heard applying salt with water works I've never tried this but I think it works and btw if you wear dark clothes like black brown or dark blue they'll come after you or if you have anything dark in your room wear light and bright colors white is best.

Thanks girls! I will try wearing brighter colors but I just hate being salty. I'll try it out though. And I'll ice my eye for now :)

Do you eat bananas? Or lots of fruit? They're attracted to that. Haha :)

You need to cut down in eating sugary things in the summer. It attracts Mosquitos to your blood. Ever been in a room full of people and your the only one to get bitten? It's because your blood is literally more sweeter. I cut down on sugars this summer and I hardly got bit. It does work. I don't even use repellent recently.

And please don't wear brighter colours. That attracts them more. Like when your in the dark and they fly towards the brightest light!

Stephanie, thank you so much!! I'll ask my doctor first because I have a thyroid disease but it sounds great!
Gabriela, that is just genius! I will definitely do that...why didn't I think of it? :) Thank you!
Maya, I will definitely try but aside from the fact that I want to be a pastry chef, I don't have much of a sweet tooth, I prefer savoury over sweet! (I like baking for others, not for me) &regardless of what I eat, they always bite me hard every time. But I'll try this too, thank you!

Ok so me and my mom were in the park at night sitting on grass wearing black after a while we saw a huge black cloud of mosquitos on our heads I quickly took out my white shall and wrapped myself in it they left me and gathered on my mom and I searched it on the internet it says wear light and neutral colors cuz they have no particular attraction to light and neutral colors.Bright or floral will attract them.btw sorry for the wrong info I gave before.

If you wanted to increase your intake of B12 without going on tablets just eat more animal products (meat, eggs, etc) :)

Yeah...I don't eat meat :/ I can have eggs but everyday it gets old :) I just generally don't eat too many animal products, I guess a supplement might help in my case. It's crazy, now I get it, the other day only me and this other vegetarian were being bit!!
