The mossies are attracted by you breathing.


Combination of CO2, water vapor, and warmth attracts mosquitos. This
time of the year, if I hand water after 4 PM, I attract a cloud of
skeeters. After 5 PM I attract the same crowd and I don't have to do
nuthin'. After things dry out (June) the worst will be over. They also
try to avoid light colored clothing. I guess they don't like being
targets either. (a big woof to Joe;-))
