Thanks so much for your reply. I'm glad you are doing much better. I live in Florida and know how bad those mosquitos can be. I'll have to try DEET.

Debbie, I'm so sorry. I wasn't very clear. For the first couple years after treatment I didn't get any mosquito bites which seemed odd because I am usually the one getting bit the most.

Later I learned that they sense or smell the blood somehow and because my red blood count was low they pretty much ignored me. Now that my red blood cell count is back up, they find me again. I use the DEET to keep them away.
