No More Mosquito Bites
Awesome Tip of the Day: Mosquito problem? Taking vitamin B1 (thiamine) supplements is widely reported to ward off mosquitoes. No bug spray or pesticides. They just don't like it. I tried it in Brazil. It works great.
How much do you take? I have the capsules...
ReplyDeleteDepends on the size of the pills. Take whatever the recommended dosage is on the package as a regular supplement.
