I take a ton of vitamins, but so does my mom and she’s a mosquito magnet. I read an article here on FR a year or two ago that said that scientists are looking into a certain protein or amino acid (I forget which) that some people have an excess of as the possible reason mosquitoes don’t bite them.

At first I thought it was a stupid thing for scientists to study, until I realized it could help stop things like malaria from spreading.

Speaking of crawly critters, I discovered a great tip for catching spiders ~

Save your long cardboard tubes. They’re good for trapping spiders on the ceiling or high up on a wall. Just trap and tap into the toilet and flush (or take outside.) Their stubborn little web-thread will try to cling to the tube, but the power of the flush will win. “;^)
